Random mating is a requirement for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Non-random mating, such as assortative mating or inbreeding, can lead to changes in allele frequencies and result in deviation from the equilibrium. The other conditions listed (mutations not occurring, no natural selection, no genetic drift) are also necessary for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
