What are your views about same gotra marriages in jats, various scenarios, role of khaps, reforms, constraints, implications for various stakeholders, etc.

Please discuss your views. All are welcome from orthodox to outrageously new-age progressive.


RELATED BUT SEPARATE THREAD (with slightly diff focus)
1. Thread below is some-what limited to discussing only one aspect of same gotra marriage as in how khaps treat them. I wish to have wider discussion from other aspects as well.
Justice of Khap Panchayats on within same gotra/village marriages, how far good/fair?

.

I believe 'Same Gotra marriage' is not a 'Taboo Topic' here on JL as it's been discussed 'in detail' quite a lot time.
Wondering if you want to summarize or/and revive it again ??

Not able to get you, kindly elaborate ..


Cheers
Jit

I did search those threads. See links to those threads in my OP (original post).

I created this threads because earlier post had posed a question from a specific/narrow perspective e.g. Khap's reaction to same gotra marriage, should such couple be ousted, etc? I have created a thread to discuss all the aspects, take the all encompassing wholistic view, this thread can act as a mean of aggregating all the threads into one (members can provide ref to related posts), revive and continue the discussion, etc. Until these remains an issue in our society, people will continue to debate and post on such topics. These are 'living' ongoing issues, thus require ongoing discussions.
