Obc cert for (general category pre-marriage) married woman with obc category husband ??

Ajay kapure (Querist) 24 June 2012 This query is : Resolved
Dear Sir/s,

I am a married woman Mrs. Puja Kapure age 32 yrs, and i have changed my name after marriage (Maiden name - Pushpa Agarwal).
Pls. note - My (12 yrs. old) Marriage Certificate does show my Previous Maiden name ONLY and NOT my New changed name on it.... but whereas I have Ration card & Passport with my NEW post-married NAME.

Also, MY father has passed away and I am not sure whether my Pre-Marriage status (AGARWAL - Marwadi community from Alwar, Rajsthan) comes under any caste benefits .. but till date in ignorance, I have been studying under "General category" status...

Whereas my married Maharshtrian husband does have an OBC caste certificate .. so my query is ...

After 12 yrs of marriage with my husband following their rituals, god/goddess, traditions, etc... Am I eligible to get an OBC certificate ??? as I am applying for Govt. competitive exams it would help me in OBC - age relaxation and result.

Awaiting here for URGENT reply, as I have to submit the Competitive exam form and not sure whtehr to click on OBC caste or General category .............. PLS HELP URGENTLY

Thanks & Regards...

MArriage does not create caste status so marraige with SC/ST/OBC doe snot entitle you for reervations. Forget.

Interdining and accepting social custom of the community are the criterion for issuing the certificate.Try, you can get.
