Mr. Rajkumar,

According to learned scholars, in the olden days, rishis were given villages from which to teach students. The students and their families took the name of that rishi as their "gOtra" or tribe. Consequentlly , there is a strong possibility that people of the same gotra may be be related.

Given this, tradition dictates that marriage should be between gotras only, not within them.
