Quick Summary

A woman from a reserved category married to a man from an unreserved category is inquiring about her eligibility for an Economically Weaker Section (EWS) certificate. The EWS category in India is for unreserved individuals with a family income under 8 lakh rupees. Crucially, caste status is determined by birth, not marriage, meaning marrying someone from an unreserved category does not automatically change one's own caste status for EWS purposes. More details about the specific circumstances would be needed for a definitive answer.
