Although Morasu Vokkaligas are a sub-section of the Vokkaliga community, they are not a fully-defined caste as they can intermarry with other sections. Polygamy is rare, and child marriage was rare. Marriage is done outside "bedagu" lines, and marriage with a maternal uncle or paternal aunt or elder sister is especially promoted. In most cases, a younger sister's daughter is not married except in unusual cases. "Varase", which regulates marriage between those considered analogous to parent and child or brother and sister, is also observed.
