@ Author,
In my opinion limited advantages you have given to read 'caste' peculiarity in your query without telling us where the marriage took place and or what is the caste of your wife and or if the inter-caste marriage has been registered or not till date !
However;
1. The children born out of inter-caste wedlock will get quota benefit in reservations.
2. Maharashtra Government has decided to gift Rs 50,000 to a couple opting for inter-caste marriage. The State cabinet sometime in Jan. 2010 took the decision with the view to abolish caste system in the state by encouraging inter-caste marriages. Earlier, the amount was Rs 15,000, The government would give a cheque of Rs 20,000 and invest Rs 25,000 in postal savings scheme, Indira Vikas Patra, in the name of the couple. The remaining amount would be given in form of marriage expenditure or household things The government has been implementing the scheme from 1958 and 50 per cent of the fund is given by the Centre.
