I am getting
ORA-30926: unable to get a stable set of rows in the source tables
in the following query:
MERGE INTO table_1 a
USING
(SELECT a.ROWID row_id, 'Y'
FROM table_1 a ,table_2 b ,table_3 c
WHERE a.mbr = c.mbr
AND b.head = c.head
AND b.type_of_action <> '6') src
ON ( a.ROWID = src.row_id )
WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET in_correct = 'Y';
I've ran table_1 it has data and also I've ran the inside query (src) which also has data.
Why would this error come and how can it be resolved?

This is usually caused by duplicates in the query specified in USING clause. This probably means that TABLE_A is a parent table and the same ROWID is returned several times.
You could quickly solve the problem by using a DISTINCT in your query (in fact, if 'Y' is a constant value you don't even need to put it in the query).
Assuming your query is correct (don't know your tables) you could do something like this:
MERGE INTO table_1 a
USING
(SELECT distinct ta.ROWID row_id
FROM table_1 a ,table_2 b ,table_3 c
WHERE a.mbr = c.mbr
AND b.head = c.head
AND b.type_of_action <> '6') src
ON ( a.ROWID = src.row_id )
WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET in_correct = 'Y';
