Is the same true for men? Can men be denied the opportunity of taking Amrit because there spouse has not taken Amrit?

This does not appear in the Sikh Rehat Marayada. If it is related to a cultural or social tradition, I would not know. Perhaps others can shed some light. However, there is nothing that prohibits taking amrit if one's wife/husband is not also amritdhari in the maryada. If it were a widespread condition, the converts to Sikhism whose spouses did not convert, would not be permitted to take amrit and I have not ever heard about that situation either.
