no , dowry is robbing the girl's family don't make the boy out to be the victim as there is not as much  stigma attached to divorced guys as there are girls . A guy can marry , rob, abuse and dump as many times as he likes without much comeback whereas a Girl is traumatised, belittled and dishonoured  in society . That's why Bhen ji is still clinging to this excuse of a man even though he has beaten and tried to get her arrested.

It depends on how pretty the girl is. If she is stunning, she'll still have blokes clamouring for her after divorce - men are often simple creatures like that. lol

I thought most weddings in Punjabi culture were based on marrying 2 families. Otherwise caste wouldn't be an issue at all when it comes to marriage.

Hi there, 

If you have recently got married, and since you are from abroad there has to be a certain number of years till he can actually divorce you because, they do not want sham marriages occurring. Therefore he cannot divorce you for at least 1-5 years depends on your marriage and how it has been taken up in court and whether or not they may think it was a sham marriage. I think you should get a job save up and have a place to live and have time away from your husband and to think about what your situation is and whether on not leaving him is going to happen.

Alright.

To clarify.

I am not in UK but in USA and i do not want to leave my husband. We have restraining orders between us for no contact. He and his family threw me out. The sikh community gave me shelter and now i am fighting my cases and I still dont know why i love him even after such abuse from him and his family. Maybe it was my fault too but my husband changed after  we got married and he grew more distant from me.

What should I do?

To 

For a Kaur, you use Singh as your post name, why don't you use Kaur or something else or are you a male writing on behalf of someone else? 

Where are you living now? Can you approach the vachole, or whoever arranged the marriage? Was it arranged or love marriage ? 

What makes you love him when he's treated you like that? 

What do his parents say or are doing about this? Who is everyone that are saying you are saved by Waheguru ?  Do they know of his negative behaviour from before or any reason for them to say this? 

I am a kaur, i am from India, my husband is from usa, i was confined at home for 6 months, he has filed for divorce, the sikh community, means one of my husband's family friends saved me, i am still confused, it was an arranged marriage online contacted by his family, we were engaged for 3 yrs during which my parents passed away, got married here in states, i have no family to go back now,been though jail ,dont know anybody here, everyone says he is culprit, he does not love me, and i still want to make this marriage work, i am in a mess right now, homeless, no money, didnt have social security i had a career back in india, i still dont know what to do, my husband does what his family says, we lived with his parents, his 2 sisters, the one married, her kids and her husband also. sikh community elders are supporting me, but i am left questioning so many things, my father in law who is a doctorate in Sri Guru Granth Sahib tortured me, slapped,their whole family is amritdhaari, but only my husband and his parents wear all 5,i am not amritdhaari, i am a sikhni,and his sisters are allowed to wear everything, i had restrictions what to wear after marriage, had to follow certain rules and was tortured by his sisters and himself ad there were different standards for them and for me.things like this dont happen in India, my mother in law was never satisfied with what we gave them in marriage, even though they said we dont want, harsh reality is they took everything we gifted,and wanted more, i want to know why would anyone marry someone to make them work like a slave, contorl them,and then throw them out of house when they talk gursikhi, when my husband talkked all bani with me, did nitnem with me, we had anad karaj, then why this behaviour?? why am i not able to get over him when i know i was ill treated and suffered cruelty, my perception of world has changed, i dont know what to believe, to believ people who preach and profess gursilkhi and gurmat but its just words, no lectures, then people like me who are trying to live by sikhi tennets but not so much into all this rehat marayada and stuff why do people who are amritdhaari do this karma?? why did my husband do this to me?/ why?? what he did before and after marriage change so much, why...why cant i let go of him, our divorce is finalised,it jsut takes 2 months here in usa, and i still dont want divorce to happen,is wahegur ji had this anand karaj done, then how can it be broken,? is marriage just a word, with no meaning??as per his dad we were into manmat, but they are into gurmat, then is divorce gurmat?/ lines have been blurred, i have a social stigma attached being a divorced woman, in 6 months,that too when i left my life, my career, my siblings everything behind in india to marry my fiance and to be treated like this. why me, what shud i do..

First is you have to realize that as long as there is Moh on your part; you can not move-on, as emotionally it's going to be traumatizing for you to leave and stay, so first you need counseling for that.

To OP, you seem like an educated woman, so keep strong and use that to help yourself.  Have you seen any immigration specialists or lawyers in regards to your residency there? What do they recommend to do? You may have a case from the way you've been treated. 

Is there any help you can get from a Sikh organisation such as here, we have Sikh helpline etc, but I'm not familiar with the organisations there. 

From what you have described, it seems that they are not accepting you back. It's disgusting what they have done, especially when you have nobody to turn to in a country that you haven't been in long. Firstly, they arranged everything online, and they didn't accept you as you are. What were they expecting online, without anybody knowing each other? Obviously there were going be things that would not suit them or you.  I wouldn't say that I as an arranged marriage, but an online marriage of convenience, from what's happened, because nobody knew each other. Was it done through a matrimonial site? 

As @Jacfsing2 paji has said, you need to get some counselling to help you with coming to terms of what has happened. If they are so nasty and treated you in bad way, then you are probably better off without them.  It is difficult for you not having any permanent residency, I'm sorry but I don't really know what to advise on situation like this, but just to do ardas to Waheguru to help you and use your wisdom to get out of this mess. Just wish the Gurdwara was more helpful in this and guide you the right way. There must be some organisation who help women in similar situations as yourself. Try and get that help from them. 

Hope it gets sorted and that you get support through this hard time. 

Some shabads for you:

 

 

( PS: where's the woman's rights posters now? Help karo kudi di Hun, uda te bathera kuch boldian).

    • 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.
