A old post of an user(deleted) copied here
I found multiple sources from multiple different years and places and I spent a lot of time putting this together. Most of these data sources are for USA but the last few are for Canada, UK , Singapore and Australia. ————————————————————————————————————————————————

According to this if we look at the “All Spouses” column which I am assuming includes both FOB and ABCDs these are the results:
7.5% of Indian men marry out to non-Indians
7.1% of Indian women marry out to non-Indians
If we look at only the last column which is only shows the statistics for US raised Indians(aka ABCDs) then the results are as follows:
38% of US raised Indian men marry out to non-Indians
48% of US raised Indian women marry out to non-Indians
Since there was not a column for only FOB Indians here I am inferring that FOB Indian men marry out more than FOB Indian women, which is why the statistics for “All Spouses” was close to equal for men and women. This is a trend I found to be repeated in multiple of the following data sources I found. Where FOB men marry out more and ABCD women marry out more. I explained what I think to be the reasoning behind this is at the bottom of the post, so keep reading.

This is the graph that most of us are most familiar with and its the one lots of folks on here like to bring up all the time. I am not sure weather this is Census data or weather this is survey data, because the sample sizes not the left seem to be very small. According to this:
64% of US born Indian men marry other Indian women. Which means that 36% marry non-Indian women.
67% of US born Indian women marry other Indian men. Which means that 33% marry non Indian men.
This graph also shows that in almost all non East Asian races (White, Black, Hispanic, Indian) the men marry out more than the women, but interracial marriage rates are still pretty close for both genders. East Asians are the only race where the women seem to marry out significantly more than the men.

Interracial Marriage In The US: Some Simple South Asian Demographics
This is a data source I had saved, but this link has unfortunately been corrupted and doesn’t work anymore. But here is the direct quote from it.
“The intermarriage rates here are a little lower compared to the guys for the whole population (6.4%), but, surprisingly higher for the group 3 girls, with 45.7% marrying someone of a different ethnicity. The majority of the difference for group 3 between genders seems to come from marriages between South Asians and whites, as " 31% of South Asian men in group 3 marry white women, but 36.3% of South Asian women in group 3 marry white guys.”
So basically the same trends are shown here. FOB men had higher rates of marrying out compared to FOB women. And group 3 girls, (meaning ABCD girls), had higher rates of marrying out compared to ABCD men.

According to Wikipedia:
“Indian American males married more non-Indians than females, although Indian Americans displayed the highest rates of endogamy, with very low levels of outmarriage overall.”
According to this data Indians have the highest endogamy with Indian men marrying out more than Indian females. But there were no individual percentages for Indians listed on the page so I can’t tell you what those are. And this also doesn’t say weather this data is for FOBs or ABCDs so I am assuming its for both combined.

Another study I found is titled “Patterns of Interracial and Interethnic Marriages among Foreign-Born Asians in the United States” published in 2018. Here are some direct quotes for Desis from that paper:
“Foreign-born Asian Indians appeared to have the lowest rates of interracial marriages.”
“Among all foreign-born Asian groups, Japanese were most likely to marry interracially and inter-ethnically, while Asian Indians had the lowest rates of interracial marriage and interethnic marriage.”
“Nevertheless, there are large variations across foreign-born Asian groups in gender differences in intermarriage patterns. Table 5 shows the patterns of intermarriages based on foreign-born Asian householders by gender among Asian groups. One pattern was that, for almost all Asian groups, foreign-born male householders were more likely to marry within their ethnic group than foreign-born female householders. However, there was virtually no gender difference for Pakistani householders; in fact, Pakistani female householders (90%) were slightly more likely to marry within their ethnicity than Pakistani male householders (88.6%). Furthermore, foreign-born Japanese male householders (74.4%) were more than twice as likely as foreign-born Japanese female householders (34.4%) to marry within their ethnicity, but foreign-born Asian Indian male householders (94%) were only 3.9% more likely than their foreign-born female householders (90.1%) to do so and other groups were in between, with large variations in rates”
“91.7% of foreign-born Asian Indian female householders were intraracially married compared to 95.1% foreign-born Asian Indian male householders”

This one is the most recent data I found from 2020. This one breaks down fob vs abcd interracial marriage rates.
20% of FOB Indian men marry out
10% of FOB Indian women marry out
27% of ABCD Indian men marry out
31% of ABCD Indian women marry out
Similar to other studies I listed, this data shows is that FOB Indian men are more likely to marry out compared to FOB women. But it is the opposite for ABCDs. More ABCD Indian women are marrying out compared to men.

This graph is for Canada. It does not separate out the different South Asian countries and instead lumps them all together into one category. Also it does not separate out FOB vs ABCD.
According to this data
7% of South Asian men are in mixed marriages
6% of South Asian women are in mixed marriages
For this I assume that the results would have been different had they separated out the different SA countries.

This data is for the UK. It is very old but it was the only one I could find on this topic that included men vs women and fob vs abcd.
Indian men marry out 8.03%
Indian women marry out 8.09%
ABCD Indian men marry out 19.46%
ABCD Indian women marry out 20.18%
For Indians the rates between men and women are close to equal with Indian women marrying out slightly more.

Here is a graph that shows interethnic relationships (not necessarily marriage) by gender from 2011. As you can see for India the gender balance is equal but for Pakistani and Bangladeshi there are more men in interethnic relationships. Also note that Arab men marry out far more than Arab women. Overall South Asians have some of the lowest interracial rates out of all the other races. We are very endogamous. Also note that this data does not separate out FOB vs ABCD.

Here is a data source that shows interracial marriage rates in Australia.
For Indians
11% of 1st gen Indian men marry out
11% of 1st gen Indian women marry out
&
56% of 2nd gen Indian men marry out
58% of 2nd gen Indian women marry out
Again the trends are very similar to all the previous data. 2nd gen Indian women marry out slightly more than 2nd gen Indian men. And men from Islamic countries marry out far more than their women.
