Here the word "Shaikh" does not mean a caste. "Khwaja" caste is a sub caste of "Saiyed" or "Syed" caste in Muslims who are direct decedent of Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.). | |||
| ==Marriage customs== | |||
| '''Khawaja''' people usually marry within their own social affiliation that is '''"Khawaja"'''. They marry regardless of status wealth or class discrimination. Depending on circumstances a group (clan) may be as small as few hundred families and as large as few thousand families. For example, in the ] clan's definition, their clan system is to be an entire group having very few sub-groups, whereas Khawajas are branched into a dozen or two sub-groups. For the Bhat clan (a Kashmiri clan) a group, by and large, usually shares an ancestral village in Kashmir as a reference point. | |||
| Marriage into a family other than Khawaja family and between first cousins was discouraged in the past. Marriages to men outside the social group, i.e. the Khawaja clan (e.g. marrying outside such as Muslim Punjabi families), is now welcomed and accepted by a few Khawaja families, although some community elders may still discourage it. | |||
| Although most of the departed Group of families who are out of the '''Family clan system''' (]) are not following the antique family traditions. | |||
