Anuloma means in the natural order (union between a elevated caste man and a subordinate class woman) and pratiloma is its reverse.

Table in Page (2) Below

Summary: Father + Mother = Progeny [ known as (Anuloma or Pratiloma type) ] – Is of this caste. Only the progeny ( children get genetically transformed into this caste. Parents remain genetically the caste into which they were born.)

[ But if it is a pratiloma union ( Union between an elevated caste woman and sub-ordinate class man ), then the father ( man ), the mother ( woman ) and the children, all of them get transformed genetically to the castes as mentioned below, as per the category applicable to them.]

As you can see from the table below, if a low-caste man marries an upper-caste () woman, then, automatically, the low-caste man, his brahmin wife and their children, instantly fall further and dip further below, into the chandaala caste (burial ground worker caste) and become of that chandaala caste.

The Ancestors do not accept the offerings in shraddha,...etc; by a brahmin man who has married a woman.

Specifically, a brahmin man marrying a known dvija (twice-born) (either brahmin or or caste woman) permits the brahmin man authority over many rituals and away from some, but overall permitted for all rituals and the Gods and Ancestors too accept the offerings.

But the Ancestors do not accept the offerings in shraddha,...etc; by a brahmin man who has married a shudra woman.

Also sapinda (7 generations), Saakulya (14 generations) and Gotrajaas ( 42 Generations) on brahmin man side cannot be invoked along-side shudra ancestors.
