Just wanted to know if finding a marriage partner through online sites is common these day?

To cut a long story I dont have many family contacts. ie to arrange seeing girls through family network and the ones I have been introduced to are not really what I am looking for.

Anyone have any experience with these sites such as shaadi.com or Sikhsingles? I have never tried these but would be intrigued to know if they work. 

I personally dont see issues with online marriage sites aslong as the people on there are decent ect. But not sure what percentage of Sikhs find marriage partners through these sites.  I am aware that muslims use singlemuslim which has helped with thousands of marriages for them. 

Its increasingly difficult in the modern world to actually meet Sikh females. Due to working long hours. Theres simply a lack of time to meet them at social functions.

What is stopping you from getting married ?

First figure that out, ask family, friends, colleagues they might know.

I think you need a Bichola, seek services of a marriage bureau.

Nothing is stopping me. I just put marriage off as I was focusing more on my buisness and career. Its hard work trying to find a Sikh female as theres not many Sikhs where I live. I think online matrimonials could be the future. I mean how else are you suppose to find someone in todays world. At least there is a platform where like minded people can go to who are interested in a serious relationship/marriage and meet one another. I have never tried them before as there is some kind of stigma attached to them in the past.

I think if two people have serious intentions of settling down and marriage then it should be encouraged. Its also a great way to have more intercaste/community weddings.

Thanks for the link. I just wanted to know what are peoples experiences of these sites and which ones would they reccomend? I know you can find risteh through the community but the choice is quite limited.

Tinder and dating sites get more traffic compared to matrimonials.

Anyway I know three guys who found their wives through online matrimonials.

First was sikhmatrimonials, is going through divorce.

Second Shaadi, is still using the site after getting married and having kids.

Third some Indian site, took my advice and settled for a small town working girl who wanted to settle in big city.

    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
