Marriage Equality In India

This time, the barrier is not race or gender, but caste. Again, the shift is generational:

"The recent rise in violence actually shows that the younger generation -- especially women -- are slowly gaining individual freedom in marriage. But the older generation still cling to the old ways where marriage is still a symbol of status, not emotional love," said Shashi Kiran, a lawyer in India's Supreme Court who married outside her caste and is handling several honor-killing cases. "It shows a society still in transition and wrestling with deep change."
