State
A caste system is a closed stratification system in which position is ascribed at birth, fixed for life, and typically reinforced by rules on marriage and occupation.
Show
Position determines occupation and marriage partner, and no achievement alters it.
Watch for
The system is defined by closure, and it need not be tied to any one religion or region.
