[QUOTE="Kookar Guru da, post: 144654, member: 9900"] Vahiguru Jee Ka Khalsa Vahiguru Jee Kee Fateh! I am thinking of all the people I know. I can only think of a single instance of a Sikh man marrying a Hindu woman, and in that instance the regard and respect for Sikhism is quite low from the woman. Other examples I know are a Sikh woman marrying a Muslim man, a Sikh man marrying a Christian woman, and a few examples of a Sikh woman marrying a Christian man. I know of one example of a Sikh woman marrying a Hindu man. In all of the above cases, it is the Sikhi that suffers. The Sikh half of the marriage is Sikh only in name. Invariably the Sikh in these couples is least bothered about Sikhism; it is something they do not consider important. This is obviously my surmising of the circumstances - I have not been inside their minds and I do not know their innermost thoughts. But in as much as their outward actions reflect their inner motivations, it is quite plain to me that Sikhi is not at the top of their list. The children always end up non-Sikh. The vast majority of Sikhs I know are married to other Sikhs. On the question of this thread (Can a Sikh woman marry a Hindu man?), the answer is, according to the Sikh Rehat Maryada, a simple No. When Anand Karaj takes place, the couple partake in the 4 Lawan of marriage. They matha tekk to the Guru. What does that mean? It means that they accept the Guru Granth Sahib as their sole Guru, to the exclusion of all else. The singing of "Habhe saak kooRave DiThe to palle TainDe laagi" ("All other relations I see as false, now that the palla/scarf is put on me") takes place. This is not the couple saying it to each other, it is the couple saying it to the Guru. So how can Anand Karaj be performed when the Hindu man will carry on worshipping his Ganesh, Ram, Sita, Krishan, Hanuman, Shiva, Kali Ma, Durga, Lakshmi, various avatars, numerous gods, demi gods, semi gods and will continue to attend the temple dedicated to ants, and the one for rats, and ... A Sikh believes in The One, not the many. A Sikh has one Guru and believes in that Guru to the exclusion of all else. So Anand Karaj can only have any meaning if both man and woman believe this. - Kookar Guru da Vahiguru Jee Ka Khalsa Vahiguru Jee Kee Fateh! [/QUOTE]
