Why out cast marriages were not allowed in Hinduism?

As we know that there is Casteism in Hinduism. Group of Hindu peoples are divided into four cast (Varnas). You know those Varnas are Brahmin, Kshatriya, Shudra aur Vaisya. In Hinduism, one cast person could not do marriage with other cast person in ancient times. Those ancient peoples of India were well known about the Genetics and inter mixing of qualities. They knew that if two good qualities of characters (Genes) are mixed, then a better quality is gained. Which is good for development of society. If one bad quality and a good quality get mixed, then it may be dangerous for society. Because new born quality may be harmful for society.
In Mahabharata, during the starting of war, one reason Arjun was saying to Lord Krishna not to fight this war. The reason was that if Arjun defeat Kauravas by killing Kaurava warriors. Then thier widow wife may give birth to Varna sankoor child after having sex with other cast person. For example, a person with good intellectual and bad behaviour is not good for society. I can suggest a such kind of person from mythology. That was Ravan, he was the son of Rishi Durvasa and Demoness Nikasha. From them, Demon King Ravan was born. Ravan had having great intellectual but his behaviour and quality was like a demon.
        In mahabharat also, there is a story of intermixing of two different qualities. That story is of Ghatotkach. He was the son of Bhim and Hidimba. Bhima was a human being and Hidimba was a Demoness. But due to some reason, they both get married and Ghatotkach was born. Ghatotkach was half human being and half demon. He was having human behaviour and having strength and power like a demon.
      Therefore, the probability of birth of a varn sankoor child may or may not be harmful for society. But maximum probability of a varna sankoor is on side of destruction of society. Hence in Hinduism, it was not allowed.

Jai Mahakaal
