| |  | |  How Many Sikhs Have Married Out Of Caste/Race?
Hi all, Sikhism practices the egalitarian principles of there being no caste/racial distinctions between people. We can all say we don't believe in castism/racism, but the iron test of a Sikh is to whether they have actually married out of caste/race/tribe?

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...
Moreover when there will be any function , again religions will come between so its better to marry in ur same caste.... Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=8550Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=8550
I reallr respect all religions but its just i don't want to have any problem regarding religions. | | The following member appreciates gurunanakslad Ji for the above message. | |

I married a German born woman through the anand Karaj ceremony after she adopted Sikhism as her religious affliation and raized Sikh children. Her Sikh name is Amrit Kaur | | The following members appreciate Bhai Harbans Lal Ji for the above message. | |

Dear Friends,
Being a practicing Sikh, I treat all humans as equal in all respects. I do not even think of such things as Jaat/Cast etc. Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=8550

I am Saini, daughter of devout Sikh parents. I married a Hindu Khatri. The caste or religion question never occured to me at all before marriage. I have known my husband a year before we tied the knot.
We have never discussed anything regarding religion or caste. He goes to Gurudwara when he has time to take me. And I go to the mandir when his family has functions.

So far, though we argue and disagree a lot (as normal couples do) religion and caste never came up. | | The following members appreciate bames24 Ji for the above message. | |

 sat sri akal
well i m a punjabi guy n its still time for me to get married as i m still completing my college. yes i would love to marry a punajbi or a sikh girl as i find them far more pretty, religious, devoted, faithful, etc. than others. still it depends on for whom i fell for. ofcourse being a punjabi guy caste n religion is not a problem for me n i will marry girl of any caste if i m in love with her. for me love matters not caste or religion. |
