[QUOTE="BabbarSher, post: 3278, member: 185"] Dear Neutral: Bahadur singh is a person with Jazba..which is right, but I think he goes overboard quite frequently. NOTE: If Polygamy is allowed, by the rule of equality Polyandry should also be allowed. I wonder if Bahadur Singh is willing to justify that? My Response is after >>>>>>>> If polygamy was the absolute norm in SIkhi, as you say, Guru Gobind SIngh would not have had 3 wives otherwise our Guru would have contradicted his own teachings.

(my friend here mentions 3, hence taking it 1 marriage further than what some historians say). The point is that Guru Maharaj never married twice. The simple reason for two names is that sometimes when a girl is married, her name in Susraal is different from the one in Paike Ghar. I know of people who have 2 names - one for Peke Ghar and one for Suhre. >>>>>>>>The reference is being made to CharitroPakhyan:my friend Bahadur Singh says that polygamy is mentioned in Charitro and since it is not condemned in Charitro..it is allowable in Gurbani. 1.
