Intercaste couples have the same legal rights as other married couples, including property and inheritance rights. Discrimination based on caste is prohibited under the Constitution of India. Some states offer financial incentives for intercaste marriages, such as ₹2.5 lakh in Delhi. Additionally, children from such marriages are entitled to affirmative action benefits if one parent belongs to a Scheduled Caste or Tribe.
