Sikh Marrying Mixed Sikh

Is it okay for a Sikh to marry a mixed Sikh? The person is half white but was raised as a Sikh and is a strong believer in Sikhism. Our Rehit says that a Sikh must marry a Sikh, but does it say anything about mixed race?

remind me of the teacher who insisted my kids were half sikh and half brasilian ...honestly people PLEASE one is a faith the other a nationality ...my kids are fully Sikh and so is your other half if he does practise Sikhi only

I'm interested jkvlondon, how did it come about that you married a Brazilian man ?

I mean, was it that you were both Sikhs and found each other as Sikhs, or did Sikhism come to both of you later in the relationship ?

I have always been sikh and it was my Sikhi that intrigued my husband , and so he came onto our way of thinking about the universe ... our kids are amritdhari but although he has kept his kes, goes Gurdwara , only eats/lives as an amritdhari would in our home ,he has not got to the point of sanchar readiness himself and I am waiting for him although I do my duties as per normal in Sikhi.

In the meantime , have to do the right thing and get the kids battle-ready they are going to see a very anarchaic time in their lives when the fossil fuels peter out, food shortages due to toxicity of soils and of course worldwide Caliphate attempts. Bani and warrior training...

I can see you're on the right path now....that much is clear...But how did it come about in the first place for you, a Sikh girl, to fall in love with and marry, a Brazilian fella ?

Are you an example of the numerous threads we have here about 'sikh girls running off with black and white men' ?

I ask because if you are you are a wonderful example of what great things might possibly result from such a relationship with regards to Sikhi.

Reagrding your kids......don't scare them. I'm guessing yours are round about the same age as mine and I think its more important we fill their heads with the wonderful nature of Waheguru's creation...i.e how wonderful life, the trees (even xmas trees), the grass, the bees etc are rather than negativity. Teach them how the definition of a Gursikh is to be good, caring human beings and the fight for justice and truth will naturally follow.

no ...I believe in the truth and live by it ...we were in university together but before anything progressed I told my folks, and of course they said No so I waited until they had met him so they could be aware of his personality and thinking . He never said run away he totally agreed that parents had give blessings on both sides . They could see that he was not like the other western guys and so placed a year's wait before thinking about engagement we waited meanwhile I worked and lived with them and he lived his life. In the meantime Dad had gone to India and asked Mahapurakh about situation and bachan was Angelo would become a Gursikh, so Dad was happy to go ahead with the Magni but again put another year wait condition that went smoothly and we had Anand Karaj where we both wholeheartedly agreed to bring up or children in SIkhi .

So you see I knew him and his personality and viewpoints on life for 6 years before getting married and we have been married now 19 years this month. We've had tough times but Waheguru's kirpa has always been on us , my kids ask me and I tell them truthfully it is too hard a path to take successfully unless you really are as one on life direction, you can be from two different colours/cultures but you need to have Sikhi in common to make it work.

I keep that info about future challenges to me , they only know that Mum's teaching them bani, Punjabi and signing us up for martial arts

The worse thing we can do is leave them unable to cope with the world gone to hell, they need to be resourceful and able.

    • 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.
