[1, 2] Definition and Origins Literal Meaning: The term comes from Greek roots (hyper-, meaning "above," and gamos, meaning "marriage"). Historical Context: Originally used in 19th-century social science regarding colonial Indian caste systems (such as anuloma), it described customs where women married into equal or higher castes. General Sociology: It broadly defines any union where an individual partners with someone of higher rank, wealth, or education. [1, 2, 3] #fyp #hypergamy #harkasampang #nepalimeme #nepalitiktok
