GENERAL

Was listening to Sant Ji's katha on youtube.  Sant ji stated apart from the traditional raags, there is nothing wrong if Kirtan is sung in other NON - Raags set up by our Guru Ji's.  His example: Think of poison in a bowl.  Drinking the poison then blaming the bowl is silly. The poison is bad not the bowl. Likewise, we will never call a bowl Amrit once it contains Amrit init. Sameway it's not the raags being good / bad... it's WHAT we put into those raags. How many times Kirtan was sung but on a track of sum Bollywood tune? It is happening in Gurudwara by Raagis! Youtube also has Kaweshri jatha singing history of 1984, on Dr Dre's - Still Dre track.  Rap instrumental/ Bolly tunes stand neutral. We can either put bad things and sing with our own remixes and lyrics... or we can recreate to sing Shabads of Gurbabi, kirtan and Sikh Prachaar over them. 

Suraj Prakash is History on our Gurus. The main Gurudwara in Leicester does katha on it 6 days a week. To get the answer very important to listen to WHOLE of Suraj Prakash. 

Well, also need to take into account what the Country 's law state. Allowed marriage at 16 - 17 WITH family consent and BOTH couple's consent. BOTH must be 16 -17! 18 plus no consent needed for marriage only both couples.  Used to be 18 plus but nowadays with "Kids cleverness " they act like know it alls so I think it 16 plus?? Joking.  Only paapi / kaami 18 plus gets married to minors below 18. Yes, every country has its own culture BUT COME ON! MAN.
