@amrita and @diala
I had only posted that if 7 generations of sutas marry kshatranis continuously then 8th generation will become Kshatriyas again. And the rule is true for all pratiloma marriages. This is as per manusmriti. I guess the most probable origin of the " saathe peedhi tak paap dhona"
The society was becoming more male dominated hence mothers, caste had to be same or below fathers caste
I know this is highly casteist but that's what manusmriti says. So the pratiloma marriages were not banned, neither were anuloma marriages, but the preference was for samvarni marriages only, the children from such marriages had all the rights and privileges.
It's not that anuloma and pratiloma children were ostracized, but they were denied lot of privileges. From both fathers and mothers caste
Lomharsha the suta who recited Mahabharata could not conduct any yagya himself the suta Sanjay could be king dhritarashtras friend but not king. Keechaka could be senapati but not king himself inspite of being more powerful than the king. Karna became king because of duryodhan he didn't win a kingdom for himself, so all the more reason why he should have avoided participating in swayamvar
Like you said he should have been learned enough to avoid it especially after rangabhoomi
