i am a young 18yr old girl and i do not like marriage... i know that this might sound very werid but i have never like the idea of arranged marriage and CASTE!! i get so put off by the idea it really makes me angry, even just the isea of tlaking about marriage with my parents really gets me annoyed... why is it tat you have to be a certain caste to marry someone.... and why is it that when you hit 18 all your parents can think about is getting you hied off to somoene you dont know... love is supposed to be about two people getting to know each other throough a process, and finsing one another, NOT having your f aily decided when you need to get married... i am so put off by marriage its unbeilvable, there is noone to look up to, its how i feel... anyone feel the dame way or is there anyone that can help my warped views change....

I don't think it’s normal for your parents to get you married now or to even think about it when you are still so young. And there is no caste in sikhi so caste shouldn't be an issue.

And I'm sorry but this isn't a fairy tale, there is no chance or very little chance for you to find someone who you actually love. In fact you'll put yourself through hell doing all this dating nonsense. Most of the time people wound up divorced even when they think they found the one. Better to stick to arrange marriages. And I don't understand why people make arrange marriages seem so bad, you still have your choice if you want to marry that person, no one will force you and you can still get to know that person.

Just focus on more important things in your life right now.

I used to be like this! Kind of.

I never thought that it was okay to find someone yourself, but marriage was a HUGELY embarrassing topic for me, and if anyone dared to mention it I would either put my fingers in my ears and start humming loudly or leave the room. Very mature, I know. The thought of getting married petrified me because my parents had the worst marriage ever, so my view of marriage was very warped. I thought it was just arguments and fighting and blah blah blah.

I think in a couple of years time, once a few of your close friends have got married and you have seen how the process works you may feel differently. That's how things changed for me. Also, the person you marry will not be a complete stranger..you will have a good year or so to get to know them so don't panic. The fact that your family are going to find you someone is a huge blessing..there are some very dodgy people out there, so you're lucky that your parents/brothers will thoroughly check out someones background before you live in that household. I think we're very very fortunate..

With regards to caste..it's a load of rubbish but unfortunately people are silly and still follow it.

I agree. to avoid all the embarrasement/awkwardness involved with love/arranged marriages, I'm avoiding marriage as well.

Good step!

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • 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.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
