Abstract
This article, based on original research in 226 villages from two North Indian provinces of Haryana and Rajasthan, examines the status of children of an emergent category of cross-region marriages among the Hindus and the Meo Muslims that breach customary marriage norms as the brides belong to a different caste, ethnicity, region, and sometimes, even religion than the husbands. Since the mid-1990s, rural bachelors began seeking wives from distant parts of India to meet the local bride deficit. Prevailing discourses of ethnoracism, caste discrimination, and religious fundamentalism shape the lives of the offspring of such ‘transgressive’ cross-region matrimonies. The offspring are not considered ‘pure’ on counts of the low caste, undesired ethnicity, and/or different religion of their mothers. ‘Stained’ as 'internal others’, they do not obtain unequivocal acceptance into paternal kin groups and communities. The inter-generational stigma affects their everyday interactions and psychological wellbeing, and creates hurdles in life prospects including marriage.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
