Can a child take the mother's caste for admission process to educational institutions?
Hello!
Yes, a child can take the mother's caste for admission in educational institutions, but it depends on the state government rules and proper documentation. Here's what generally applies:
-
The Supreme Court has allowed children to take the mother's caste if the father is not supportive or absent.
-
You must submit a valid caste certificate issued by a competent authority showing the mother’s caste.
-
A legal affidavit or declaration may be required explaining the reason for taking the mother’s caste.
It’s advisable to consult your school/institution and local authorities for the applicable process in your state.
