I want to get married

[Premi5]

Do the Pakistani Sikh population just intermarry, or do any marry into Indian Punjabi families ? Any that marry into the West?

Not confident anyone here will know much, but I'm interested. And what background are these Pakistani Sikh from - mostly urban ? Mostly rural ? Or a mix

The Pakistani Sikhs are more open to marrying extended family.

It's not ideal. 

It would be better if they married into Indian Punjabi Sikh familiies.

In the past when most Khatri Sikhs lived in Pakistan, a lot of Khatris also intermarried within the family rather than marrying people from far away and non-khatris. They were also open to marrying with Hindus. 

 

That's why we should always be aware of our local sangat, and not get absorbed into mainstream culture.

That's exaggerating. Maybe a large minority, I doubt a majority. Although I have not been much to Punjab in the past 10 years so the current youngsters might be different to the ones I knew

CP could be used to educate youngsters on important life lessons that they would otherwise be more likely to learn the hard way though

Singhs need to read charitropakhyan. This girlfriend-dating <banned word filter activated> mentality is really corrupting the new generation of sikh/punjabi youth. they need to wise up to what on earth is going on before jumping into making casual partners with their teenage hormonal brains!
