can a hindu guy marry a sikh girl? i don't know much about hinduism, but i think so.

HOWEVER:

can a sikh girl marry a hindu guy? no, she should not.

ref: Sikh Rehet Maryada:

Article XVIII

b. A Sikh's daughter must be married to a Sikh.
c. A Sikh's marriage should be solemnized by Anand marriage rites.

there are many reasons for this, most importantly that she must raise her children as Sikhs, and this is not possible if the husband is a practicing hindu, as many hindu rituals and ceremonies are in contradiction with sikhism.

i hope this answers your question.

um, i am. if that was meant as an insult, sorry, you'll have to try harder.

based on your attitude towards the sikh religion, i'm shocked that a sikh girl would even be with you, though i suppose she's probably not particularly religious.

in my opinion, any sikh woman who is so weak in her faith that she feels the need to marry outside it probably shouldn't be raising sikh children anyway.

we need strong sikh women who love their faith and culture to raise strong sikh children.

but you asked what sikhism says about it, not what i think about it.

Yes that was technically right a "sikh girl cant marry a hindu guy" ... me bad

But "A modern girl can marry a modern guy" this is enough for me .

where do people get this idea that one cannot be modern and also follow sikhism? i find it really insulting.

i'm an IT professional, i'm never without my laptop and cellphone. i have my whole house linked through a wireless network. i drive a late model car and dress in jeans most days.
but apparently, the fact that i wish to follow my religion means i'm not "modern".

this is one of the most bizarre ideas i've heard, and yet i hear it time and again...

look arun. if she wants to marry outside of her religion, she's probably just not very religious. that is not the same thing as "modern", ok?

some good general resources on sikhism:

i don't think any religion and their lows can Update depend upon era ... is sikhism can change their lows just for "love" ? defiantly this love and relationship must be coming from god .. or what ?

physically you are modern because of you are Using modern laptop buying new cars etc... and the same time you are believing a dumbas religion who is not allow to marry loved one

Dear arun

If you want to marry her then go ahead ask her parents.why are you asking this question
on sikh forum? as far as arguement religious - don't love a person is concerned please don't give this stupid arguement.The modern hollywood,bollywood love is mainly based on attraction.It is not true love.these days men and women are spending billions of rupees
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=17804
on beauty products so they can attract a partner.Is it you call a true love from god which is resereved for only good looking and rich people?
