Hypothetical Question Regarding Interfaith Marriage

[Guest yuuj0iu]

If a non-Sikh with children marries a Sikh without children, how should the Sikh spouse treat his or her stepchildren?

[Questioner]

With love, of course..

[Guest singh]

Shouldn't marry in first place, against Sikhi. That is correct answer

[MisterrSingh]

With love, of course..

Definitely.

Equally, a situation such as the one the OP is referring to shouldn't be entered without a lot of soul searching.

Be prepared to hear, "You can't tell me what to do, you ain't my dad!!"

All jokes aside, it takes a special type of man to raise - or even cordially live with - another man's offspring in a family unit. It takes patience, wisdom, understanding, amongst other things of that nature.

It begs the question - and I apologise if this sounds harsh - but is it really necessary? Whoever is involved, whether it's the OP or someone else, what's the motivation of the mother in this? Equally, what is the man hoping to get out of this situation? "Love" is not an answer, hehe. Situations such as these require the head to take control and as little of the heart to dictate matters as possible. Either way these are questions only the person involved can answer. Good luck.

I don't believe in illegitimate children (no illegitimate children at all), and remarriage should be saved for extreme circumstances since we don't have divorce.
