they can .. but the social pressure/peer-pressure usually steers people away from the practice. the old "birds of a feather" cliche hides a deeper behaviour-shaper
in america, there is a class-system which is rarely acknowledged and it's usually based on economic status and the accident of birth.
someday ...
John Lennon had some insight:
As soon as your born they make you feel small,
By giving you no time instead of it all,
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school,
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool,
Till you're so f***ing crazy you can't follow their rules,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years,
Then they expect you to pick a career,
When you can't really function you're so full of fear,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV,
And you think you're so clever and classless and free,
But you're still f***ing peasents as far as I can see,
etc

You can't say never, there's always an exception to the rule. But to answer your question, in general, there are few places where members of the different classes will interact. If you spend all of your time with the same class of people, how will you meet someone from another class to get to know and marry? In addition, if one were to show interest in a member of another class, one's peers would likely shun any relationship that might develop.

Sometimes they do. But usually one is surrounded by people of one's own class, so they tend to marry within it.

It's just the way that the world works. Doctors, lawyers, executives, etc tend to look down on clerks, garbage men, truck drivers, etc. And they won't even date someone they look down on, so why would they marry them?

They can't because they don't know enough about relationships and about love and about getting along.
Pretty much the same reason any other couple doesn't get along.
