Mar 10:9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
I find it curious you quote only from Mark. It's also been suggested that Paul the Taxman cum Godman wrote the majority of the New Testament through his letters to various tribes. I challenge anyone to consider the fact that there have been countless writings actually BANNED from the Christian Bible. I will be honest, I have come to have serious concerns over something called the Word of God that has been edited and published by man. While there are great stories and even some good teachings contained therein, it could never be the "inspired Word of God." Too tainted by dirty human hands. Thoughts?

Respectfully,
Jesse

Re: How Many Sikhs Have Married Out Of Caste/Race?

my answer is No. its because if i will marry some one out of caste then it will create many problems regarding religions coz i will want my child to follow sikhism and his mother will want child to follow her religion and child will get confused and reach nowhere... he will have very different point of view??... he will b in trouble everytime...

What caste ? You see things that Sikhism doesnt/shouldnt. My child isnt confused and very successful and happy.....perhaps it is because WE ARE GOOD PARENTS first !!! not a caste or label as you only see.

Personal understanding is:
Very proudly i can say that, not a single "Sikh" in the whole world have married out caste/race.

Because "Sikhs" knows this very well, that their is only one single caste/race in the whole world -- that is "Humanbeings", So what is "out of caste" ?

"Ek noor te sab jag upja, kaun bhale ko mande"

"Sikhs" knows there is not a thing like "Out of Caste" in this whole world, they are never give value to such concepts, this concept is for the people who believe in such things, not for the "Sikhs"

The person who believe in the concept of "Out of Caste" is not called as "Sikh"

"Satshriakal"

So How many of you have and I would like to here comments one way or the other.

No flaming please.

PS Vote also if you intend to marry in or out of caste/race.

In the matter of inter caste marriages I would say that if a girl marries to a boy of another caste/religion one thing is certain the boy will not accept Sikhism as his religion but stick to his followed religion in the present day. That means the Sikh girl has lowered the dignity of her own religion by marrying into other caste/religion. He will always consider that his religion is superior and more practical for the humanity giving his own arguments. The Sikh girl will have to bow to the utterances of her husband and avoid arguments on the subject of religion. That makes her an inferior human being and whenever she wants to stress the good points of Sikhism she will be opening a new chapter of divorce.
To marry within Sikhism and a boy from Sikh family with any family name like Malhotra, Gulati or Mann etc. is OK as per our religion.
