Answer

Direct answer

Sect, caste and community should be discussed honestly if they matter to either side, but without insulting or reducing a person to a label.

The practical question is whether both families can respect each other’s beliefs, customs and boundaries.

If a label is a non-negotiable filter, say so early and politely rather than creating pressure later.

The person whose life is being decided should not be pushed into silence while families negotiate labels. Clarity is useful only when it protects dignity and informed consent.
