I am 28 years old and living with my mother due to separation of my parents, they are mutually separated but not divorced from last 24 years, my question is i belong to brahmin cast, kaushik gotra and love a girl who put sharma as her surname ofcourse she is brahmin girl too, but the twist is her father's gotra is also kaushik and mother's gotra is Bhardwaj, we both love each other and it's fine to do marry for both of us, she is 25 years old, we both working and independent,but so far my mother denied me to go for marry due to same gotra, and she also concerned about future property issue from my grandfather's property, which I'd claim in future, although she(girl) didn't tell her parents about our gotra issue yet but I am worrying that what if they will also refuse about our marriage (although my girl told me that his parents have modern mentality because they allowed her elder sister to marry with some kayastha boy,but I know this is really different and difficult situation,my mother's side relatives are also conservative mind, I am pretty sure they will also put hurdles, please help us out soon, we love each other and want to get marry, please please tell me how it'd be possible with no future problem and with no issue in claiming of my grandfather's property from my father. I will be always grateful to you people. Thanks.

Same gotra is no hindrance to marriage legally but to save the future generation it is scientifically advisable to avoid marriage in same ' Gotra'.

Generally Mama of the girl do Kanyadan in such cases if the marriage is unavoidable. There is no legal hurdle. You may explore the possibility for kanyadan from mama if our mother agree to it.
However, traditionally such marriage is avoided.

There is no legal restriction on the marriage between sagothra pair as advised by expert Shri Barman. Regarding the possibility of marriage between both of you, you have to convince the resisting parties and chalk out modalities if you are so interested in the marriage. Though there is no legal restriction, as per the customs of Hindu religion, people will not agree. Same gothra indicates the descending clan and such marriages may lead into begetting the children with disformalities. However, there customs in certain communities that sister's daughter can be married.
As you are indicating that you are from an orthodox family, it is for you to either to convince the resisting parties or to give up the idea.

Legally there is no restriction to marry the girl belonging to same sect of the caste, however you appear to be more worried about your grandfather's property than the love you have for your girl. You are matured person, decide about what to choose, whether your love for the girl or desire for the property.
