Adiyen had come to know that when a brahmin boy weds a girl of another caste the boy loses his status as a brahmin to the extent that he becomes unfit to perform sandhyavandanam; but in the previous Sudarshanam issue it has been said that the girl can do bharanyasam; so does this mean the boy still has the right to do rituals ordained by sastram?

When the boy is a kartha for the rituals, he has to perform them even though he has married a girl of a different caste. Though he could not perform the rituals applicable to a brahmin but that is applicable to others.

Bharanyasam is not caste centric; anyone can perform it irrespective of caste or creed.
