Yes. Many. who then?

I was looking through the archieves of sikhnet and found this post! "My second cousin got married to a white guy recently. Her grandfather (my father's uncle) is a staunch baptized Sikh. The white boy had to become Sikh to marry her. They got married in a Gurudwara." Does anyone know any case where a non-sikh became a sikh in order to marry a Sikh? Van80crimsfu

Well the other option is disowning those who marry non-Sikhs

Well for those Sikhs who are upset as this wedding then and oppose a Sikh girl marrying a non-Sikh boy then revenge attacks like this are only counter productive. What should have happened is that the girls' father should have asked to have a meeting with his daughter's fiance. He should have told him that it is important for him for his daughter to marry an amritdhari Sikh. The father should have gave the fiance and his daughter three choices a) Leave the girl and forget about marrying her b) Tell his daughter that he will disown her and she is not to ever again contact her family or call herself a Sikh if she desides to continue on with this relationship c) Tell the fiance that if he were to voluntary become a Sikh and take Amrit Sanskar then he would accept this relationship and the fiance will be embraced by the family and the local Sikh community. I all goes to show that you have to be reasonable about these things and give the couple certain choice and make it clear about the consequences of these choices. The Sikh community has a right to demand that the non-Sikh fiance who plans to marry a Sikh women for example that he has to become a Sikh. Cases like this gives weight to the argument that Khalistan is needed for Sikhism to survive. Now usually non-Sikhs living in a non-Sikh country will not embrace Sikhism to marry a Sikh but that could be different if Khalistan was an independant country. It is easier to follow Sikhism if you are in an environment where everyone are amritdhari Sikhs. Now look at this hypothetical case, a Sikh girl from a rural villiage in an independant Khalistan returns home from studying abroad and brings her non-Sikh fiance back with her. Her family and the villagers are not impressed and do not except this relationship and demands that the non-Sikh boy becomes a Sikh in order to marry her. It is 100 times more likely that the Non-Sikh boy will become a Sikh in this environment then becoming a Sikh in an area where there is few Sikhs.

To all of those who say that this girl dishonoured her family by marrying a Hindu boy. I just wanted to ask that if this Hindu boy were to vollunteerly become baptitised as a Sikh, support Khalistan, etc....would you guys still be opposed to this marriage?????????? :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I have been searching the net and I am come accross some subjects on the issue of marriage between Sikhs and non-Sikhs. I wanted to ask an abstract question. If you were a devout bapitized Sikh and your daughter who is currently visiting you during school break comes home with a young non-Sikh man who you assume to be her friend suddenly announces during dinner that she is love with him and wants to get married after she graduates, what would your reaction be?????????????
