Jatukarnya Gotra
जातुकर्ण्य गोत्र
Jatukarnya is one of the twenty gotras recorded in the Mithila Panji, the genealogy kept for Maithil families. It is also written Jatukarna, Jatukarn.
Can Jatukarnya marry Jatukarnya?
Traditionally, no. A Jatukarnya boy and a Jatukarnya girl share a lineage, so the match is sagotra — and sagotra matches are avoided in Maithil practice. Mithila Jodi’s match score shows a shared gotra as a blocker for exactly this reason.
Stricter families add a second check: Jatukarnya should not be the other side’s maternal gotra, and the other side’s gotra should not be yours. Many families treat that as something to talk through with elders rather than a firm no.
