SIKH MARRIAGE


Recommended Posts

From the above link:

Quote

38/52 A Sikh should marry a Sikh. Do not give a  daughter’s hand to a clean shaven. Give her hand  in a house where God’s Sikhi exists, where the household is not in debt, is of a good nature,  disciplined and knowledgeable. 

Unquote 

 

Srimaan 108 Sant Baba Nand Singh jee Kaleranwale's Bachan- Never marry your daughter to a house, where meat and alcohol are consumed, but accept a lady (as daughter-in-law) from such a house.

Life of the lady, who marries into a household (where meat and alcohol are consumed) has the potential to become miserable, while the lady from such a house, has the potential to grow spiritually with her husband and in-laws..

 

Bhul chuk maaf

Does this rule apply to Sikh men as well? As in 'don't give your son's hand to a house where God's Sikhi doesn't exist'?
Sikhism is supposed to represent equality, so it should apply this way too right?

I think this was written when the girl would inivetibly move in with the in-laws. Not applicable today as most couples don't live with inlaws and instead have their own apartment or house together. I think that's why it was referring to women, because the woman would be the ones usually moving into the home of the inlaws. So thats why it was specified. But yes, according to Akal Takht edict in 2007, a Sikh (male or female) must marry a Sikh. So a Sikh male can not marry a non-sikh female either via Anand Karaj. This came about after the protests of mixed faith marriages in Gurdwaras in UK in recent years.
