Marriage - "caste Problems"


Recommended Posts

My personal soch... Marry anyone ..dont excuse with castes.. ....... You can marry any girl within the sikhi but not castes .....................worried about relatives ? you going to be married with ? then go for DNA test.. :biggrin2: ...but dont go for same caste names ... Science did a lot of tarakki... inhu positive tarikke naal use kro ............. .. you dont do farming now .. girl does not do any khatri work now (if i guess)...... you are sikh she is sikh... thinking is same professions maybe different but professions do not frame the path to waheguruji.. ... so marry the same girl............. just break the caste barriers ........

GurFateh to all.

Before I start could I please request that only those members reply that actually have sound advice to give and are not here to ridicule. Thanks

I'm 24 years old, and have been introduced through friends to a girl, (as I told them

I am

Looking for a partner for marriage) the girl and I get on extremely well and both have similar future plans.

I have brought this up with my parents, and they have discarded the idea as she is not from "our caste" as they remind me that we are Jatt and she is a Khatri.

As far as we are both concerned, in line with the tenants of Sikhism we aren't doing anything wrong as the Gurus refused any notion of the caste system. Her parents have no problem at all, mine do.

We are in this situation and don't know what to do, could anyone advise?

It's very hard nowadays finding a suitable match, as there is more freedom of thought, but on other hand there isn't as ur parents want same caste. Have u told them about her, or they seen her? That may make a difference, or are they just saying no full stop without knowing about anything about her.

I think u should provide them with more information, if u really want to marry this girl. And also ask why it makes a difference of caste.

You don't want to end up marrying the wrong person and regret it later, and have problems later on if u don't want to marry somebody from the beginning. Explain to them why u want to marry her. And caste should not be an issue. A lot of people marry in caste due to pressure and end up with problems, as they didn't want to. Not saying rebel against ur parents, but this caste issue seems to create tension in families, all need to be happy, and u know ur parents better than anybody, I'm sure they will understand when they see her qualities and she makes u happy.

If u are serious to marry her and know she's the one, if they don't listen to u or u find it hard to explain, then do it with an elder member of ur family who understands, sometimes they understand better from same age group.

Op you should have asked your parents before looking/dating. What you did is called immature behaviour. Do a reality check, will girl & her family accept you if your parents kick you out ? Normally they are interested in what your family has got rather than what you alone can offer.

Yes paji is right here, if ur parents disown u will they help u after? Just saying yes doesn't mean they will support u all the way. And vice versa for girls, make sure both parties are agreeable. Have u thought about the future too? Where will u live, who will support u when u need help? It's not just about getting married and hey ho away we go. Also ur parents will get older n need some support. Some people agree due to wat family can offer and when they can't help that's when things go wrong. So do it properly.

Bhein ji you should start a Match Making Service.

There are plenty of members right here on Sikhsangat who need help.

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
