Bharadwaj Gotra means people who are the descendants of Rishi Bharadwaj. Rishi Bharadwaj was the son of sage Brihaspati. Sage Brihaspati was the son of Rishi Angiras.These 3 rishis are called the traya rishi of the Bharadwaj Gotra.in earlier days Sages were only Brahmins excepting Sage Vishwamitra. Also all the warrior brahmins became Kshatriyas later. Later all the business minded Kshatriyas became vaishyas. Hence there are people of all the three communities having a common Gotra especially Bhardwaj Gotra.Guru Dronacharya was the son of sage Bharadwaj.All the descendants of Bharadwaj Gotra display warrior skills because sage Bharadwaj married a Kshatriya woman called Suseela.According to Anuloma marraige, the offsprings who are born to a brahmin father and a kshatriya woman take the characteristics of Kshatriya though technically being a Brahmin.Hence the brahmin descandants of Bharadwaj Gotra are referred to as Brahma-Kshatriyas(Warrior Brahmins).

Many brahmins like me are audichya sahastra brahmins with bhrdwaj gotra ....... And here in brahmins is a rule that a couple with same surname and same gotra can not be merried because their main reletionship is brother-sister ..... :) :::::: KEYUR ::::::THIS BHARDWAJ CONTAINS KULDEVI SEPERATE WITH NADI,SHIV, GANPATI SO MARRIAGE PURPOSE SME GOTRA IN CAN MATRCH ACCORDINGLY.
No you cannot marry in same gotra. Its prohibited in vedas. And it also has a scientific reason yo marry in same gotra there will be a genetic disorder in offsprings.
No they can't
According to Hindu Caste System people of similar gotras can not marry. Because they will be brother and sister of each other.
