Is it gurmat to marry someone without their parents consent?

E.g me and this bibi have liked each other for years but her parents do not agree to this rista for a number of reasons e.g caste , money and so on.

Her parents still treat her like crap. they are some cult followers and not into sikhi at all. their daughter is amritdari hence the clash

my side the boys side agree , her family do not. she has tired and tired year after year.

Yes i know this is all my fault for entering a relationship before marriage. I could walk away from all this and marry whoever is "perfect" sikhi wise. But is that the gurmat action to take? I would be breaking her heart and going back on my word?

What does the sangat think? How does this marriage take place without her parents etc?

Its a long dragging issue.. Mature replies only.

waheguru Ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh,

you say the parents are cult followers which one?

how did she manage to maintain rehit in such an atmosphere?

ultimately if you are amritdhari and able to support her fully perhaps you can get help from local amritdhari Singhs to represent you to the family and help make your case . Obviously you do not want to take a step which will dishonour your intended or her family. But she will have to go through some discomfort emotionally to marry a Gursikh, as they sound as if they will not consent to someone who doesn't share their beliefs.

If you are from US or Canada You are free to live on your own at the age of 18. There is no such thing as parental consent after this age. But keep your distance for your safety.

Gurmat doesn't come into it.............It's more a manmat issue because you are using the 'mat' of your mind and asking others minds as well.

So please don't get confused in trying to convince the opposing parties by saying you are acting in gurmat....They will only accuse you of trying to act righteous or be pretending because you may well be saying something like it's gurmat to marry out of caste, family status...etc..

HOWEVER, ...if you believe that the marriage between both of you will help you both lead a path inclined towards gurmat, then that is another thing !

(let me explain a little)

Please Note that a marriage in sikhi is not between the couple, but more importantly, between the the pair of you merging with Waheguru's jyot at the same time.

It 's not about 2 jyots become one, where your jyot blends with her's.....but it's about both of you blending together in Waheguru's jyot.....your 2 jyots become one with Waheguru.

Your wife should be the one that is your 24hr sadh sangat,..... the one that inspires you to be as gurmat to the max and vice versa...... You should both be encouraging each other to bring out the best sikhi and gurmat in each of you for the rest of your lives.

If you are strongly convinced that the pair of you fit this criteria, then you can tell the opposing parties that you both believe that you will lead and help each other towards the 'Sat/truth' whilst walking along in gurmat.

A sikhs path is to the purest form of the ONE SAT or truth. If a sikh feels that some force is oppressing or cutting this path, then you use all means necessary and Guru's hukam guides you. ......Then you are in pure hukam and in complete gurmat !

The question you have to ask yourselves is that do you both feel inclined in this way about each other ?

If so,...then yes, it may well be gurmat.

You need to cover all grounds, especially when approaching families involved in manmat cults.... because they will absolutely refuse to listen to a younger who thinks they are acting in gurmat. But if you can explain the above and about what both of you mean to each other..... it may help them question their own faults, weakness and manmat activities !!

Be prepared because some people (like some of my own family!) are hard work.

Good luck !

A few things to think about. First, did you ask her the same question? What is her view? Is she mature in the extreme about her view? Challenge her, but do so with extreme honesty as to your motives and sensitivity. You understand her and she understands her parents. In challenging her, try to understand her parents.

Secondly, I don't doubt that there is some truth to your description of her family. However, if there is an outside chance of consent or even some kind of peace moving forward, you will have to try to understand the smallest concerns they have, even if those concerns are related to human failure. You will have to be able to view them from the perspective of understanding. You don't have to agree but if you can relate as a person to basic human emotions, you may have a clearer picture of exactly who is entitled to what degree of consent in the equation and what constitutes consent. Much of that also depends on age and maturity. Being 18 or 30 can be very different things.

Fully agree with luckysingh99 paji, very gud answer ji.

I think her parents will never agree, and probably are hoping she will give n follow watever they are. But that will be Aldo destroying her life. If u really care and if u love her then it is also in ur concern to protect her to going the wrong way.

The thing is you have to work to convince them that ur gud for their daughter, as end of day she's their daughter. So on one side u can save her depending on how strong she is and other side maybe save the family too. It's hard but do ardas To Waheguru ji and they will do wat is right thing. Gud luck ji.

    • 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?
