Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. It crossed caste and region
1. Ramabai married a Bengali lawyer of the Kayastha community in a civil ceremony.
2. She was a Marathi Brahmin, so the match was inter-caste and inter-regional.
3. This was seen as inappropriate in that period; the ceremony was civil, not in a temple.
