Social Stratification
Endogamy is the practice of marrying within a specific social group, caste, or community, which maintains social boundaries and cultural identity. This practice is particularly significant in caste systems, where individuals are expected to marry within their own caste to preserve the integrity and hierarchy of the social structure. Endogamy helps reinforce social stratification by limiting social mobility and keeping resources and status within designated groups.
