Sri:

Sagothram means brother sister relationship. So no marriage. Is that correct?

Some couple love. Parents due to compulsion, allow adoption to change gothram. Is this allowed? Is this not a sin?

Many caste has gothram. Does all say abhivAdanam?

Some people say, all are mixed nowadays. No pure Lineage. So gothram seeing is waste

Swami,

I don’t have a clear answer to your question but have a connected question.

Apologies for piggybacking it with yours.

If Aśvatthāmā didn’t have a progeny, then how do we see people with ‘Bharadvāja’ gotram today?

Or is this gotram has no relevance to this Bharadvāja rishi of Mahābhārata times?
