Sikh MARRIAGE

Can those of Sikh faith marry out of faith?[/b]
Guru Gobind Singh Maryada: 38/50 A Sikh should marry a Sikh. Do not given a daughter's hand to a clean shaven. Give her hand in a house where God's Sikhi exists, where the household is not in debt, is of a good nature, disciplined and knowledgeable.

Sikh Rehat Maryada (Sikh Code of Conduct) states:
The Sikh Rehat Maryada Article XVIII clause k states that “ਅਨਮਤ ਵਾਲਿਆਂ ਦਾ ਲਵਆਹ 'ਅਨੰ ਦ' ਰੀਤੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੋ ਸਕਦਾ |” meaning persons professing faiths other than the Sikh faith cannot be joined in wedlock by the Anand Karaj ceremony. Also at XVIII clause b,“ਲਸਿੱਖ ਦੀ ਪਿੱਤ ਰੀ ਦਾ ਲਵਆਹ ਲਸਿੱਖ ਨਾਲ ਹੀ ਹੋਵੇ |” meaning a Sikh’s daughter must be married to a Sikh. In the Sikh spirit of gender equality, it is implied that a Sikh’s son must also be married to a Sikh.

Why insist on a Sikh Anand Karaj Ceremony when they have not agreed on one religio-cultural path in married life? Why go through marriage ceremonies at respective places of worship to please parents and religio-social circles on both sides? Individuals should understand the commitment they are about to fulfil during the Anand Karaj. All Sikhs have a duty to uphold and adhere to the Sikh Rehat Maryada (Sikh Code of Conduct).

Sikh religion/faith has unique guiding principles and we choose to walk on this path and follow Manmat(Minds ideology) or we follow Gurmat (Guru’s ideology). The Guru’s path with regards to married life (Gresti or Dam-Pati Jeevan) is wonderfully explained during the Guru’s Gurbani (teachings) when Gurmat principles are sung during the Anand Karaj. The Sikh ceremony showing the path to a blissful union of two bodies FOLLOWING ONE FAITH. Gender equality is given by stressing “One Spiritual Light in two human bodies” (Ek Jyoti Doay Moorti) and respective complementary husband-wife roles in married life. Dharam Nibhauna – to do one’s duty towards each other and other family relationships is explained.
The Sikh Anand Karaj consists of four Spiritual phases, where the couple should meditate on Guru’s Naam, to achieve self-realisation, in every vibration irrespective of whether is it material or spiritual. To achieve this state of bliss the couple should follow Guru’s Mat in our Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, the living Shabad Guru & none other.

LOVE JIHAD:
Also called Romeo Jihad, is an activity under which Muslim Boys/Girls and men/women reportedly target young girls/boys belonging to non-Muslim communities for conversion by feigning love - Arising in a background of national religious tension, including strong Sikh cultural and religious prohibitions against interfaith marriages. Love Jihad is based on the power of emotional appeal in religious conversion. Muslim men have taken advantage of the recent situation, where mainly Sikh girls have married inter-faith in Gurdwara’s and muslim boys/men have conveyed to them that it is acceptable in Sikhism, to marry out of faith.
