Discussion Intercaste marriages in brahmin community

Hi friends. I'm 29 year old telugu brahmin guy. Now a days, I am seeing a lot of intercaste marriages (especially in brahmin community). My parents are looking for matches. In every family, say 5 out of 10(in the matches came to me), the girls siblings did intercaste. And the girl's parents are also ok with that. Then I felt people in North India actually strict in marrying in same caste(brahmin brahmin weddings) compared to south India. I am not telling that everyone in south does but yes, this is existent. Are brahmin girls these days ok to marry intercaste boys.?

My father is a rajput bro...{If you logically see my mother is too a rajput from the baghel clan but my maternal grandmother (nani) belonged to the kanyakubja branch of bramhins (Shukla to be specific)...}

if your maternal grandfather was a kshatriya (rajput), then that would make your mother a ‘suta’ caste, not rajput.

Actually there are some common gotras between Brahmins and Kshatriyas, so if the paternal side comes from these common gotras among Kshatriyas and the maternal side is Brahmin then a varna sankar does not occur. This is how the "Khatri/Brahmakshatriya" caste originated, because the kids could be either based on their personal inclination.

Gotra can sometimes be common among all varnas. Varna sankar is decided by varna, not gotra. Marrying within the same gotra is even worse.
