A.Hello Sir,
Caste is determined by birth- a child is "born into" the caste of his parents. Caste is never a matter of choice. One can never change one's caste, leave it, or choose not to join it, although there are instances where a paerson maybe expelled from their caste.There is no direct prescribed law but some cases have been there on this topic related to deciding the caste of the child. Ideally, in India the child takes the caste of the father.
