Author(s) Vijay Shankar
Country India
Abstract This paper deals with the theme of Endogamy which is, as a social problem, prevalent in the society in arranged marriages with reference to the Vikram Seth’s novel, 'A Suitable Boy’. The present research paper aims at an-in-depth inquiry of the role of Endogamy in perspective of traditional marriages in the society and examines the role of endogamy while making choices for arranged marriage in a traditional family. It explores the facts through critical textual analysis of Vikram Seth's masterpiece novel, A Suitable Boy. It critically examines the mind-sets of Indian mothers while making marital choices for their daughters. Marriage institution is based on traditional norms rather than individual choice. Suitability of an individual for marriage, in most cases, depends on his class or caste. Class, Caste and Custom are chief concerns of traditional marriages rather than individual love. The effective factors of Class or Caste play a dominant role in the mindset of Lata and finally She comes to the reality that making a matrimonial choice is different than loving someone.
Keywords Key Words: Endogamy, Traditional Marriage System , Ethnicity, Class and Caste.
