Although the situation is not quite as dire for Sikh widows as it is for Hindus, the Indian prejudice against widows remains.

I know a young woman in her mid20s. She was married for 5 months when her husband ODed and died. Her parents have been trying to remarry her since, with no success. Several men have come forth, but they are all drug addicts and thugs, which she, being amritdhari rejects. An amritdhari young man wanted to marry her, but his parents would not consent and he is now engaged to another girl. The young widow's family wants her gone.

Fortunately she is educated and can get a job and support herself - if she can get hired. She is trained as a teacher . Who in India will have a widow teach their children?

My husband achieved shaheedi in Delhi in 1984. I remarried in 1989, at the insistence of my Canadian Sikh family, to someone totally unsuitable. Still many Sikhs are slightly scandalised that the widow of an honourable shaheed would remarry.

So it goes.
