Chhetri grooms belong to Hindu Kshatriya community based in Nepal but have roots in India. They are the warrior and ruler caste group, who speak Khasa Nepali, and constitute Nepal's largest caste group, which is 15.5%. Most of the Chhetri grooms are into Nepalese Army, police, government, administration, and an Indian Army regiment also. Chhetris are strictly against cross-cousin marriage and have strict social norms so it does not permit inter caste marriages and widow remarriage.
