There is clearly a long way to go before the rule of law can be enforced across India in the teeth of deep-rooted social oppression and prejudice and ideas that have come down generations. It will take time before constitutional and legal equality and democracy can translate into genuine social democracy on the ground. However this rule is not enforced in south India and one can marry into his/her mother’s gotra. This is not allowed in north India. The system which is fast losing its value in metropolitan and urban areas due to modernization is still prevalent in many ruler areas.
