Interfaith Marriage

[Guest mr. Singh]

The sikh community worldwide has not more than 30 million adherents. So can we afford to have interfaith marriages.I am no supporter of it but how can we stop it. Sikhism will only stay alive as long as people who profess it stay alive. What are your views on this topic ?

This says more about you as an individual more than anything. Mir Mannu when Khalsa mothers had haars (garlands) of their children's body parts maybe you should have told them your philosophy. Or perhaps when half of Sikh population was shaheed in 1 day for refusing to convert.

Sat will always stand the test of time. The path of Sikhi isn't an easy one to follow and for those weak of heart.

If you've seen/heard of this story above, you'll get to know the root of your question.

Does the saying by Guru Gobind Singh "Manas ki jaat sabhe eke Pehchaanbo" mean anything to you?

I wouldnt worry.

[Guest B Singh]

You must have heard about Guru Gobind Singh, haven't you? Then surely you also must have heard about his Shabad "Manas Ki Jaat Sabhe Eke Pehchaanbo". If you haven't then it might be a good time to hear and learn from it now.

You must have heard about Guru Gobind SIngh, have you? Then surely you also must have heard about his hukam:

1. Sir munae noo kanaiaa nahee daenee. Uos ghar daeve jithae Akal Purukh dee sikhee ha, jo karza-ai naa hovae, bhalae subhaa da hovae, bibaekee atae gyanvaan hovae|

   Do not given a daughter's hand in marriage to a shaven one. Give her to a household where the Undying divine personification Akal purakh and tenets of Sikhism are respected, to household without debt, of a pleasing nature, which is disciplined and educated.

Who someone chooses to marry is of no concern to me. But, I think Sikhs should generally stay from interfaith marriages (unless he or she isn't religious and neither is their partner) since a marriage where both parties are fiercely religious in different faiths is a ticking time bomb.

I honestly think this B Singh is a spam.

It is never recommended for Sikhs to marry people of different faiths, as they have Manmat in them and won't help improve your GurSikhi. Gurmukhs are based on quality, and if we have Sikhs who marry outside, (especially women, not being sexist), then the faith won't be as strong. This is why the Muslim grooming gangs are even a thing, because we falsely trust them. All of this and basically, "Roti Beit Di Sahnjh"

[SaroopSingh]

Nothing wrong with interfaith marriages (well personally i do have a problem with them because their kids will get confused as to what parent to follow etc.) But if someone wants to have am interfaith marriage go ahead.

BUT not in a gurduwara!

the rehat marayada states that only a sikh can get married in a gurduwara infront of guru granth sahib ji maharaj because you are making a promise to guru that you will follow his hukam. how can you do that if one of the couple doesnt belive in sikhi??? thats why it is manmant to get have an interfaith marriage.

i'd go on for longer but... meh. lol
