Yes! there are several case laws that " Caste refers to birth not to the status obtained by matrimony"

Yes, Mr arvind is absolutely right.Cast refers by birth therefore she is entitled to take the advantage of her birth cast.

A woman’s caste does not change after marriage, the Bombay high court has also ruled about that. The order came probably on Jan 22, 2010 on the hearing of an application by Mumbai resident Rajendra Shrivastava, who had sought anticipatory bail after his wife, a scheduled caste, accused him and her in-laws of dowry harassment and ‘casteist atrocities.

I do not agree, If the girl converted to Muslim, she is no more Hindu and being Muslim she can not get benefits, which are available to Hindus as there is no schedule caste in Muslim community.
