My question persists...usually sin is translated as paap or as kurehit. The words connote somewhat different notions. So does one accumulate paap? Is one guilty of kurehit? Perhaps overly technical of me but is it paap/kurehit if one marries a non-Sikh?
Or is the answer that neither word for sin applies to this question. |
My very personal and humble opinion is as under:
- I do not think that it is sin for a Sikh to marry a non Sikh.
- A Sikh will not be considered a amritdhari until he/she is baptised along with the spouse. I do not think that SRM forbids Sikh to marry a non Sikh. Only requirement is to be faithful to ones legally wedded spouse. But it very specifically forbids adultery and this is considered as major kuheit.
