Suchajee and Kuchajee are the names given by Guru Nanak Dev ji to two types of "women" or Jeev aatma. These names appear in the ragabanis (the raga section) of Guru Granth Sahib jeeo. The word "Suchajee" means a capable and skilful woman or bride while "kuchajee" is the opposite. This composition is in Raga Suhi. In this sacred script the Guru Sahib ji tells the world the difference between a noble and good womenand a bad and ignoble women. In these banis "woman" is a reference to the soul of all human beings not just that of a woman! Gurbani which start at Ang 762 tell us how to become noble brides of God and not to fall into the trap of worldly entanglements and waste this marriage (life).
First SatGuru wrote kuchajee bani and then suchajee bani so as to tell how an ignoble soul can become a noble soul. The noble soul is always honoured in God's house. The ignoble soul and noble soul both are provided every happiness in life but the noble soul never forgets the true Lord and the ignoble soul will fall into the well of attachment with worldly things. Both banis are written in Raag Suhi. The suchajee or Graceful soul always try to find the true Lord but the kuchajee or ungraceful soul does not.
The ungraceful brides (male & female) (of the Lord) fall in all Kukarams (bad habits): drinking wine, unstoppable gambling, incessant fashion commitment, excessive decorations, lazyness, etc., etc. The kuchajee soul is not considered a Sikh. Suchajee soul is also a Gunvanti (virtuous) soul. Gunvanti Bani was written by Guru Arjan Dev ji after these two banis. If a soul is suchajee then he/she can be gunvanti.
Suchajee
Suchajee or Suchaji is a poetry which is part of raag bani. Suchajee means a noble and graceful bride. Here the Guru Sahib ji treats Lord as husband and human as his bride who is graceful (i.e not kuchajee). Gurbani shows the attitude of Noble & Graceful women towards their husband, i.e Lord.

Kuchajee
Kuchajee or Kuchaji is a part of raag bani. Kuchajee means a ignoble & ungraceful bride. Here SatGuru refers to Waheguru as husband and humans as God's 'bride'. Gurbani has nothing to do a wife being obedient and submitting to the wishes of her 'Lord" husband on earth. In Sikhi a marriage is an equal partnership based on freedom and respect. This bani shows the attitude of ignoble & ungraceful humans towards their husband, i.e the Lord/Waheguru. Gold, silver, pearls and rubies are the important things to a Kuchajee Bride (Guru Nanak Dev ji refers to himself as the Bride).
