[QUOTE="Archived_Member1, post: 71382, member: 4703"] [b]Re: How many sikhs have married out of Caste/Race[/b] it comes from the sikh rehet maryada. it's our "code of conduct", and we're instructed to follow it when we take amrit. the maryada has been passed down from the time of Guru Gobind Singh ji, and the current maryada was compiled by scholars in the 1920s. the following instructions are given to us by the panj piyare (five beloved ones) at the time of amrit sanchar: (q) The following individuals shall be liable to chastisement involving automatic boycott: (1) Anyone maintaining relations or communion with elements antagonistic to the Panth including the minas (reprobates), the masands (agents once accredited to local Sikh communities as Guru's representatives, sine discredited for their faults and aberrations), followers of Dhirmal or Ram Rai, et. al., or users of tobacco or killers of female infants; [B][COLOR=DarkRed] (2) One who eats/drinks left-overs of the unbaptised or the fallen Sikhs;[/COLOR][/B] (3) One who dyes his beard; (4) One who gives off son or daughter in matrimony for a price or reward; (5) Users of intoxicant (hemp, opium, liquor, narcotics, cocaine, etc.); (6) One holding, or being a party to, ceremonies or practices contrary to the Guru's way; (7) One who defaults in the maintenance of Sikh discipline.
