If one partner is ST and the other is OBC, the couple may be eligible for government incentives for inter-caste marriage, especially if the ST partner is involved. The exact benefit depends on your state, but it can range from ₹25,000 to ₹2.5 lakhs. Register the marriage and apply through the state’s welfare office.
