Nvm i found the answer on sikhiwiki. there is a way to greet. This is a different question: When my wife and i got married as muslims at the local mosque, we were considered married. but we did not get married officiallywith a state license.so only to the local muslim community we were married. Since wife and I left Islam and im sikh and she is hindu, does that mean we are no longer married? or is the marriage only valid if we get license through the state? I could not find that answer anywhere, so i could use that help.

That is a thorny problem. The answer depends on where you live. As much as I dislike them (in general), I strongly urge you to consult an attorney. This is a legal question and I think beyond the scope of SPN to respond.

I'm not a lawyer but you two probably aren't legally married if you don't have am marriage license of some sort.

But ultimately the true answer to the question of whether or not you two are married or not comes from within your own hearts and can't be answered by me, an imam, or a piece of paper from the state.

my wife and i see it as this way, no man can dissolve our marriage. we were married in front of god , so in the eyes of god , we are still married. we are going tho here in next week or so (god willing) to get a marrige license

todays i read a small book on sikhism, taught me about the guru granith sahib and how to tie a turban, cause ill admit, im terrible at it

. i try tho. i always wear it. was a good little read. now im on to reading about the sikh gurus.
on another level: anyone know how much material is needed to make your own turban cloth? id like more colors cause all i have is a white one, and i dont have money to buy one, so i thought id make my own. and how make a gatra.

This will vary according to the countrye in which you reside, in legal terms. In Islam you are married, and despite your conversions.

Mai Harinder Kaur has given correct advice. Marriage is a legal construction and has been for centuries, What is in our hearts has no standingi n the eyes of the law where property, fiinances, children, and inheritance are concerned.

this has nothing to do with this thread i started but i been reading about guru nanak, and it cool how he went to alot of different religions house of worship and worshiped the one god in each one he went to. that is inspiring to me.

Kellysingh ji

With all respect...Guru Nanak never worshipped a god/idol at each temple he visited. These visits were prat of Guru Nanak's many udassis or pilgrimages when he preached and gained many followers to a new philosophy of God and devotion He used the experience to teach a different approach. He did not disrespect. He offered a way through that was completely different. You may not realize how difficult it is to correct this misperception, but what you say is a misperception and found all over the Internet. Forgive me.

Anyone know where to order nice but cheap kirpans and kacheeras? i ordered from sikhlink.net both of those items because my last kirpan the police took. has anyone else ordered from them? i order on 26 last month and here it is the 16th of oct and no package. ive tried contact them but u only can through email and i think i might of been scammed... just wondering and thought id reach out to fellow sikh brothers and sisters. I am hoping god willing to take the amrit, if i can find some place close. sorry to bother yall with this matter. just wondering if anyone else heard of that site and had ordered from there.

It worries me that all your posts show you little understanding for Sikh philosophy but an obsesion with the external appearance. Please spend more time understanding Sikhi and the messages in the Guru Granth Sahib ji.
