Answer:

Hinduism's belief of reincarnation sets a caste system which impacted the social lives of Indians. Each caste had set norms such as jobs they can work and who they could marry. Marriage was arranged within a caste and families were required to provide a dowry which was also a Hindu tradition. Those at the highest point of the caste system were priests and at the lowest were the outcasts and considered cursed.
