Chhetri
Matrimonial
Chhetri 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. Chhetris have always dominated positions in Nepalese Army, police, government, administration, and an Indian Army regiment also. Chhetris are strictly against cross-cousin marriage, and favour monogamy. The girls in Chhetri matrimony are married at an adolescent age. There is no provision of widows to be remarried, due to strict social norms.
