i dont think it is a sin to marry in any other relegon. and of course every individual has the right to follow his or her own religion

Okay heres my take on it.

Q1) Is it a sin for a Sikh to marry a non-Sikh even though he stays in Sikhism and his partner remains in her religion?

I think the concept of sin is sort of alien to Sikhi, to my knowldege there are no commandments of things we should and should not do, barring those things that are forbidden to the Khalsa.

I don't think there is anything wrong in a Sikh marrying a non Sikh. My wife and my children are Atheist, it is there choice and I must respect that.

Q2) Is it a sin for a Sikh to marry a non-Sikh and converts to his partner's religion?

Again no, Sikhi says that Sikhi is not the one true way to God, but that all ways are valid, after a fashion. Why would God give us so many ways and then get upset if we decide a differant way was better for us? Keeping God in mind, is the important thing, a non Sikh can do this also.

Q3) Any other comments. Open discussion.

Heh see above.

Sat sri akal ji.


to whome it may concern in general.

Dear sad sangat ji.

Once for all what I understood for over 40 years that there is no such thing like sin in marring any body regardless of his /her relegion. Sikh faith is the only faith where there is no restriction to worship directrly to ONKAR neither you need to go to Gurudwars or special places like mountains to pray . HE is living in every ons's heart. Sikh faith is beyond any supersitions. To be more direct that no faith on this earth provide all human being a freedom to live a good and simple life.So that is it, Remeber with every breath HIS name and all your questions will be answered. Says "NANAK"

quote=Nim_23]A friend questioned me on this topic... "Is is a SIN for a Sikh to marry a NON-Sikh regardless on whether or not the Sikh converts to his/her partners religion."

I hope that we can have an open discussion about this and I can eventually get a right answer to it...

Jaspal Sing Ji,

That is what I have always thought, thank for for clarifying it.

And forgive me for my bad spelling, I meant Singh, obviously

Sat sri Akal ji.


I am very pleased that you are happy. The hard core of Sikh faith is that in prectice it superseed all the faith where ritul and supersition exist. Here we insist on to remeber the name of God all the times which will prevent you committing wrong doing and you do not have false preachers.

Alway follow the philosophy"what you sow ,so shall you reap " This will happen quickly or years to come but certainly you have to reap.

Have a good life.

Sat Sri Akal ji. japsl singh

In my case. I am Hindu, and my husband is Catholic (really he now says he is more of a Buddhist now There was never a problem between us, no fights over which religion the kids would follow. The kids were exposed to both paths, but they both ultimately became Hindu. I agree with the earlier post that said that the two that marry know each other and should be able to work these things out. As far as it being a sin...I don't agree...but then again it is just my opinion.

There is no such thing like a sin by marying a guy with relegion other than yours . Love, takes over all relegion of the world. Love is God. Now as you mentioned your husband is trying Buhdism now. Do not worry every one has to try every proffessors and their theory because he did not get satisfaction from his own.But there is one theory which Sikh faith is giving to the world that there is one God and remebering his name each moments of life worth living.
As far as childern are concerned please show the the best way to be good human being.

Honestly why does everything have to be a sin or not a sin? In Sikhism there really is no sin? The word Sin is reallly used as way of provoking fear into the mind over what one should or shouldn't do, and Sikhism does not believe in worshipping God out of Fear, but rather out of love. As it is written in the Guru Granth sahib " Of all Religons the best Religon is to utter the name of God and Do good deeds". The great thing about Sikhism is the fact that we accept alll religions and let them pray with us.

Sat Sri Akal Ji.

you have said every thing if one has to understand.Sikh faith is flawless guide to have peacfull life journey and respect all the existing faith ,yet enjoy one's ("GRIST MARG")married life with full concenteration on remebering NAM which leads to ultimate salvation.
