As mentioned, most of us, me included, do not comprehend the boundaries and that govern a caste system.

Nevertheles, praying for your intentions.
 
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

I will pray that God’s will for your life will become clear and that He will give you the strength and peace to follow it. God bless.

Prayer that God Will Speak Inwardly

Speak, O Lord, for Your servant is listening. I say, Your servant, because at last I am such. I am Your servant and I want to be; I want to walk in Your way all the days and nights of my life.

Fill me with a spirit to understand what Your holy plans are for me. And reduce my desires to the single desire to understand Your sublime truths.

Speak, in order to console my anxious soul. Speak, in order to lead it to repentance. Speak, so that Your glory, thus more exalted, will grow eternally. Amen.
 
Eternal God , in whom mercy is endless,
and the treasury of compassion inexhastible ,
look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us ,
that in difficult moments we might not despair
nor become despondent , but with great confidence ,
submit ourselves to Your Holy Will ,
which is love and mercy itself . Amen

Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen

God might do that, or it might happen anyway.

George,
You sound young. Are you in a position to marry? If you are not, then what is your goal in dating?

God will do what is best for you. In the meantime, you should work on increasing your humility, which is the virtue opposite to the vice of pride. There are lots of little things you can do to improve in humility. A couple of easy ones are to thank God for all your good points–recognize that the good in you is a gift from God. And thank God for other gifts He has given you: your Catholic faith, your family, etc.

There is a book online or in books called Spiritual Combat by Dom Scupoli. It has a lot of good advice about growing in all the virtues. If you need help finding it, ask and I will link it.

I am 21 so I am thinking about marriage…
I fear this may happen cos it happened before
 
Lord, please grant this family the grace to respect one another as mature Christians and to communicate to one another openly and lovingly. Please grace this woman with direction so she may do Your will.
 
I share your frustration and shame that we still have the caste system in spite of calling ourselves Christians. I do not think that what you are doing is wrong and I hope that your family may come to accept your choice in due time. Just have patience with your parents who grew up in a time very different from ours.

Praying that the Lord may strengthen you and guide you in this matter. Also praying for success in exams and a good job for your boyfriend.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen

It’s going to be difficult to get informed advice on this subject because caste systems are non-existant in most of the cultures represented on CAF. Perhaps you can find someone to confide in who lives in your community and possibly knows your family? It’s really difficult for someone outside of the situation to advise you properly because they don’t fully understand the possible consequences. One things we can do is pray for the situation to work itself out! Keep in mind that God has a plan for you, even if it isn’t the same as your parent’s plan.

The problem is, there is no one in my family who is open to talking to me like an adult. They will outright refuse to hear me and my mom even starts crying when i tell her that inter-caste marriages are not wrong. A couple of years back I wrote to a priest whom i admire and asked for his opinion and he wrote back that this is definitely not wrong.
Please keep praying that my parents should have a change of heart and see my boyfriend for who he is rather than which caste he belongs to.
 
Thank you everyone for your prayers!! Keep praying that my parents accept my boyfriend
