The two people truly love each other, respect their partner's feelings, have great respect for their partner's family members, respect their religion, respect their religious belief etc and are well settled and want to marry but still they have to convert otherwise they cant marry each other and start a new life together. | These days 99% of so called love is bollywood type .People forget their partners if separated in 6-9 months and find another one

Who cares what the stastics.

| | | | | Re: Equality between Men and Women in case of Inter-Religious Marriage As qouted by kds1980 that "99% of love are bollywood type" but as per your statement 1% people still exist whose love for their partner is true. Genuinely you will find people more than 80% whose love for their partner is true and they are loyal to them, not only in India but around the world. Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/love-and-marriage/35116-equality-between-men-women-case-inter.html
It might be possible that the way in which they express their love for their partner may be a bollywood style but deep within their heart they truly are in love with each other. | | The following member appreciates onurag Ji for the above message. | |

| | | | | | | Re: Equality between Men and Women in case of Inter-Religious Marriage I have seen many non Sikh women marrying Sikhs men and are also accepted by the men's family. Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=35116
Then why not non Sikh men are accepted by Sikh women's family ? |

Harry ji
The environment in India is quite different.Minority Religions are always under threat from majority.Young people see films ,TV serials where they see various festivals of hIndu's.Also majority of their friends are Hindu's which influence their psychology .Sikhism with Uncut hair is difficult religion to practice so Young people which product of interfaith marriage even with Sikh father may prefer to be inclined towards hinduism.Incase of sikh women and non sikh husband chances are almost 100 % children embrace Hinduism ,with Sikh father and Hindu mother there is still much better chance that a child may accept sikhism
though even in that case Child may end up following hinduism because of getting rid of hair | | The following member appreciates kds1980 Ji for the above message. | |

| | | | | Re: Equality between Men and Women in case of Inter-Religious Marriage kdsji,
I think you are entering a trap that I have only just come out of. I have cut hair, and for 15 years I have denied myself the use of the word sikh to describe myself, simply because the hair and turban are such a crucial aspect of sikhism. It is hard to carry off being a sikh when you look like 'Penfold' from dangermouse (google it, its not a pretty sight), however We are all sikhs, and we all take the path away from gurmukh to manmukh and back again.It is my understanding that if I am a sikh and I do not keep my hair, that is no more manmukh then a sardar having the odd drink now and then, (correct me please if i am wrong), I am certainly not advocating the penfold look, but a lack of kesh should not hold anyone back from trying to better himself or trying to abide by gurmukh more than he/she is. Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=35116Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=35116
Out of the many sikh children born on this very day all around the world, some to very sikhi families, many will have the physical aspects of gurmukh, but few will have the heart. If the object is to have as many physically perfect specimens of sikh children as possible, then your argument has validity, however if we are to hope for more children who actually understand that sikhism is more than reciting japji and keeping long hair and enduring hours of kirtan you cannot understand, it is to accept gods will in your life.
Also of the many that choose to be a hindu, again most will be hindus in name and social tradition, not in heart, but maybe I think that is what causes most pain to most people, not so much the choice of god, but the choice of traditions and social rituals ,. | | The following member appreciates harry haller Ji for the above message. | |
