If someone is a good Gursikh, does he/she have to take age into consideration for marriage? What about the age of his/her potential partner?

Dear Sadh Sangat Ji, I met a girl, that I think of the world, however I haven't proposed to her yet, but was wondering what do you do when you find out of your partner's vices. I found out that she drinks alcohol, and I am not sure of what to do, I have never touched liqour myself, even though I live in Canada. I am wondering do I let this go, or do I make a ultimatium to her to stop drinking? Kind Regards, LIB

This is just a question I have had in my mind so I thought Id put it out there What is the correct way to meet someone when it comes to marriage in sikhi? Im not ready for marriage yet, I'm in the process of sorting myself out but I've aways wondered that when the time does come, how do I meet someone? Noone in my family is keshdari, my mum doesn't have a big outreach within the community and my dad has never mixed with the sikh sangat so being introduced to someone is out the question for me

in my observation, i have notice a trend in peoples general attitudes towards divorce; it is becoming more and more acceptable even within our own amritdhari community. from what gurbani tells us, marriage is not a bond between two people, but rather their bond with the guru ji. as a society, we're taking it upon ourselves to decide what is good for us and who we should be with, whereas we are ignoring waheguru ji's hukum. it is hipocritical for people to say its to advance their sikhi, when the attitude of getting divorce goes against any hukum. We are essentially taking happiness in our own hand, and we are ignoring the vow we took in maharaj's hazoori, as well as the…

I am not making any negative statement against kaurs who wear daastar as my own singhni wears daastar. However, i am seeing the trend of people of my age who are going away from daastar after their marriage fails. I have lost the count of daastar bibian who once were forefront in running sikh camps etc and few of them i saw their marriages fail and somehow they start blaming sikhi for everything and quickly shuns the daastar and bombard their with tons of makeups etc. Personally i never seen a sardar who shuns wearing turban after failed marriage but its different than bibian. I do know youth shuns turban/kesh when they start growing beard but thats different thing. An…

WJJK WJJF It is becoming ever more apparant that there is a growing trend in the uk that many sikh girls do not actually want to marry with people with turbans and beards (amritdhari and non-amritdhari). In general, I don't know what many of your experiences and would be good to hear from fellow brothers and sisters, but it does appear our religion is going backwards in this respect. Does anybody have any thoughts? What about the in betweeners (those who are not too religious and also not too not religious) but have turban and beard - it appears sikh girls just don't want to know. Is there something inherently defective in the way people are taught about the teachings o…

do everyone(sikhs) know that the marriage certificate given by indian govt to sikhs states that the marriage was conducted under hindu rituals. this is really shame. we are not getting our pehchaaan. we are sikhs not hindus please brothers and sisters lets discuss what we can do about it? request to govt, write letters, whenever sikhs do smth good for india, they say hindus did it. and when smth bad happens, they say either khalistani did it or al qaeda did it (the men with turbans) so lets discuss and think of some decision. so we can do smth about it bhul chuk maaf.

Hi, Let me start with some background about myself. I was born and raised in America. My hair has been uncut my entire life. I don't drink. When I was young, my parents taught me about the Sikh religion and I was always very proud of it. I don't think any other religion is as progressive or sensible. While I have always been proud to be Sikh, I can't say the same about being Punjabi. Why? I had some very bad experiences with Punjabi people in my youth. The children at the local gurdwara (where most kids had cut hair) would often tease me for keeping my kesh. As we got older, the teasing became less frequent, but I still felt like I was always shunned or exclu…

back then was waaaay different. ppl didn’t attend higher education or have much to do after the age of like… 13, lol. you’d have 13 year olds boys and girls that know how to do kethi, cook entire meals, etc nowadays even 22 year olds are extremely immature and can be sheltered. the average person doesn’t know how to do anything except their 9-5 which they are probably half arsing as well. -
Yeah Dhadi and Kaweshria are known for joking around now and then. -
Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
