My apologies if it hurts your sensibilities.
I posting it in general discussion.
[h=4]Bhagavadgita 1.41-43[/h]"With the emergence of adharma, O Krishna, women become impure. And when women fall into bad ways, O descendent of Vrisni, admixture of castes takes place."The intermixture of castes lead the destroyers of the family and also the family to hell. The ancestors (in heaven) also fall, as they do not receive the ritualistic offerings of food and water due to them."Because of the misdeeds of these destroyers of family and order of the castes, the order (dharma) of the community and of the family are permanently destroyed.
In spite of stanza like this.
There were extra Martial relations in all Hindu Mythologies. ( I am sure it happened in other cultures too).

Rama, Lakshman, Bharat, and Shatrughan all were born of extramarital (I assume, there is a hint of that but no direct) proof.
There might be a hidden meaning, but I do not get it.

With Vichitravirya having died of sickness, Bhishma unable to take the throne because of his vow, and Bahlika's line unwilling to leave Bahlika Kingdom, there was a succession crisis in Hastinapur. Satyavati then invited her son Vyasa to impregnate the queens Ambika and Ambalika under the Niyoga practice. When Vyasa approached Ambalika, she got frightened due to his scary appearance, she had become pale in disgust; hence, her son was born pale. Thus Pandu's name.
Kunti was the mother of Karna and the first three Pandava brothers Yudhishthira, Bhima, Arjuna. None of them were born in wedlock. (Extra Martial Relation).
Matri was the mother of Makula and Shadeva again by extramarital relation.

Dasharath performed two yajnas with the help of Sage Rishyasringa on the advice of Vasishtha.
One was Ashwamedha and other was Putrakameshti. It is said that Dasharath and Kaushalya had a daughter Shanta, who was Rishyashringa's wife. As the conclusion of the Yagna drew near, Agni sprang out from the yagnakunda (sacrificial fire pit) and handed Dasharatha a pot of kheer (payasa), advising him to distribute it among his queens.
Kaushalya ate half the kheer, Sumitra ate a quarter of it. Kaikeyi ate some and passed the pot back to Sumitra who consumed the kheer for the second time.
Thus the princes were conceived after the consumption of the kheer. Since Kaushalya had consumed the largest portion she gave birth to Rama. Kaikeyi gave birth to Bharata. Sumitra gave birth to Lakshmana and Shatrughna.
