Namaskarams to all.

We are an Iyer family settled abroad for 2 generations. I am currently the eldest sumangali of my pukkaam.
My daughter expressed interest to us to marry her Iyengar friend.
I have dilemma about this.
If we approve for this union, is it right to invite her after her marriage, to our family's annual sumangali prarthana where I will be the kartha?

The gothram has to be different (which it is) and the married daughter of the house should be invited post marriage... but i have never witnessed Iyengars being invited to Iyer sumangali Poojai and vice versa...

Please advice. Also welcome opinions about any other rituals (especially pithru karma related) where such a union might not be favourable.

World has changed and is changing.

Stop worrying too much. As Balumeena said it is better than an intercaste marriage.
