| | | | | | | Will you marry a girl with a beard? This may sound a little wierd but i was asked this question by a woman who was having hair on her chin. Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/sikh-youth/8724-will-you-marry-a-girl-beard.html
Due to some hormonal imbalances some girls have some unwanted facial hair which look like beards and moustaches. Girls of other religions get rid of them by threading, shaving or some cosmetic surgery, but in sikh religion removing hair from any part of the body is prohibited.So in such a situation what would a sikh girl do? Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=8724
Why do then sikh boys don't accept them as wives?
Some sikh preachers advocate that these girls sould accept it as will of God and do not remove them.Then another question arises, Why don't these preachers have such girls as their daughter-in-laws?
I am having no answers to these questions, can anyone help me?

| | | | | Re: Will you marry a girl with a beard? hormonol imbalance is exceptional case and disease.in my opinion these girls should do
cosmetic surgery.for those who say that they should not remove hairs are just fanatics.there are many medical cases where a patient has to remove hair before surgery. |

| | | | | Re: Will you marry a girl with a beard? This is pathetic, i agree with kds1980, most people get too fanatical.
The main thing is people should be comfortable with themselves. And I fail to see a scenario where a woman with a full beard would be comfortable in any setting? Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=8724
Just remove the hair! don't put on a freak show. |

I get quite angry when i hear of our singhs rejecting or disliking women for who they are,  | I agree but a sikh male w/o beard looks funny and he should seek medical assistance to grow it. similarly a girl should seek cosmetic treatment to get rid of it to look natural. let us not be Kattar on this. | | The following member appreciates rajinder singh saini Ji for the above message. | |

| | | | | | | Re: Will you marry a girl with a beard? The thing is, the way of god is not going through the world anymore, as everything has changed. People are not fanatic who say they shouldn't cut their hair or not. Its not about sikhism...infact its more about how god made us, and how we should leave the way we are. The thing is, its not bad, but in this world, its hard to have facial hair on women, because the world is not ready for divinity. The world is modern, so it wouldnt be acceptable to the people of this modern age. Its not a question of keeping hair is against sikhism or it doesn't look nice on women, we were all not suppose to cut our hair in the first place, as it is the way of god. So obviously to us, its not going to look nice, we are not ready for the path of god. So i would suggest that, it would be suitable in places like india, as people down in uk canada or whateva, should cut it, if they are not ready for the sikh path of divinity. This is the reason why there is a western world, different religions, etc, because people have different ways on approaching god, but the sikh way, is actually the truthfullest and purest way to go to god, as it is just what god would want us to do. But for starters it would be hard to keep hair. So let them be what they want, no ones wrong. |

We were not meant to look at our physical bodies, but more intro our souls and spirit.
Therefore, sikhs cant persuade people who are not ready to keep hair. You cant force people, its not about sikh teachings, because sikhism is from god, so its just about how close you are with god. Sikhism, khalsa, at that time was needed, and was the proper form of god. However, this world is not going that close with god, and its late at becoming pure. So no ones wrong, people have different feelings because they are not confident... Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=8724
Its all gud!! |
