Why don't Sikh brides cover their heads?

We have my massis wedding photo album at home. It's black and white and the wedding was in the early 70s in punjab. I know it was a long time ago and the culture was different back then but it's completely different to the weddings of today.  Everything is so simple and minimal

Bro don't get me started.  There's a lot not in the Ari Granth part of the Guru that we do and don't do today.   I'm talking about how there is virtually NO female participation in discussion online or off, and we know how it is important to converse about various subjects in Sihki.   The panth are the eternal students of the eternal light and darkness.

I wouldn't get too hung up on the chunni:head ratio.

This will be a regular occurance in gurudwaras in the not so distant future.

Heads are covered but is that enough?

A crime is not being committed here, I'm sure there is plenty more to question about one's actions in life.

Vaheguru

So why don't Sikh brides cover their heads? they normally have their buns covered but not their heads. whats the reason behind this? if i walked into gurdwara with my patka slipping and hanging of my bun i would probably get death stares, People would probably feel like tossing me out of the window.  But why do Sikh brides get away with it?   a few years back during the summer i wore a cap to the gurdwara, i soon had 5 singhs standing behind me not looking very amused. i was told to take it off and wear a ramal.      why the double F,ing standards?     

heres a quick google search., Why were none of these women dragged out or told to cover their heads before guru granth sahib ji ?     you can hardly call any of the below a head covering.   

The double standards are really starting to annoy me

Do them brides become more "SIKH" after covering their heads ?

It's all about what's in fashion for most people, some Sikh brides follow Bollywood trends by wearing a Lehenga-Choli outfit. The Choli blouse shows the stomach and sometimes has a deep neck. Just a few decades back, brides covered their head properly.

It's all about what's in 'fashion' these days. Some Sikh brides copy Bollywood/Hindu fashion by wearing a Lehenga-Choli outfit. The Choli blouse is not even a Panjabi garment. The caked on makeup and chunni wrapped around like a Saree is also part of this fashion. This type of blouse shows the stomach and has deep necks. Just a few decades back, Sikh brides covered their head properly. 

Yeah hard pass on all that narcissism thanks.

    • 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.
    • Good way of putting it, bro. One of the ongoing themes of Gurbani is the fake saint. Whether it's fake babas in Punjab or English-speaking personalities in the West, it's an continuing problem of religion through the centuries (and it's not exclusive to us by any means, this applies to all human societies).
