Obc certificate after marrying to genral man from different state

I was born in UP in Jat community. I married a man from uttarakhand who belong to unreserved category.
Can I get obc certificate in uttarakhand after I obtain domicile of uttarakhand.
Jaat are considered obc in uttarakhand as well as UP. but not in Central government.
Can I apply for jobs in uttarakhand under obc category.


Quick Summary
This discussion explores the eligibility for obtaining an OBC certificate in Uttarakhand after marrying a man from a different state. While the Jat community is recognised as OBC in both Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, they are not listed as OBC by the Central Government. The consensus is that caste is determined by birth and your father's community, not your spouse's. Therefore, you may be eligible to apply for jobs in Uttarakhand under the OBC category based on your birth community.

This is not possible and you might have been aware as you might have inquired into this issue with several others.  As per Hindu traditions and practices, the wife has to adopt the caste of her husband after marriage..  If the law is not like this, most of the upper caste male/ female should have married reserved category to claim reservations.

Caste is by birth. It is not by the caste of husband or wife. Caste is derived from caste of father.

Yes, you are eligible. Reservation for employment is based on the social status of the community you were born and brought up.
