Sagotra
Of the same gotra; a sagotra match is one many families rule out.
A sagotra marriage is one within the same gotra. Traditional rules against it vary from community to community — some avoid only the father's gotra, others up to four — and modern families vary in how strictly they hold to it.
Matrimonial profiles often list the gotra so that families can check before anything else is discussed.
