I don't think you're going far enough. It should be illegal. Let's take a page from history on this one:

In the Period of the Sutras there was a general crystallization of caste divisions. The prestige and privileges of the Brahamanas increased further. The Brahamanas now formed a compact class enjoying special rights and immunities. The Kshatriyas also grew in power and prestige as a warrior and ruling classes. These two castes became props of the society. In contradistinction to them the status of the Vaishyas sank further below. The Sudras were treated as people outside the Aryan race. Various restrictions were imposed on intermarriage, interdining. The Law books lay down specific rules for the Sudras. No interdining or intermarriage with him was permitted.

It was very easy to fall in the caste hierarchy but it was very difficult to rise from one class to another. Any Aryan caste having any relation with a Sudra lost his original caste.

This reminds me of some parts of The Aryan Household if you're familiar. Ch.8 s.4-6. Greater long-term stability and prosperity comes from preventing people that don't have a low time preference to rise quickly.
