Summary of Question:	Elder Sikh Girl Wants To Marry A Younger Hindu Guy
Category:	Love & Marriage
Date Posted:	Sunday, 8/08/2004 9:37 AM MDT

Sat Sri Akal, As you might have realised the core of my problem from the Summary, let me explain it to you.

I am a 22 year old hindu guy, who is in love with a 27 year old Sikh Girl, and her feelings are also reciprocated towards me. No, we have not been dating or going out or any such thing, just the fact that we like and love each other a lot and are not interested in any sort of a romantic relationship, except marriage. she is a firm believer in Sikhism, and the religion attracts me a lot too. I have made it clear to her, that i will not demand or as a matter of fact, even accept a conversion of religion from her.
What i want as an advise is, what do the Guru's say regarding this problem of mine? if someone can shed some sort of light on the same topic, it would mean a lot of things can get cleared in between us, and we can look towards our future, be it together or individually seperate.

May the Granth Always Shower blessings upon every individual here

Jai Siya Raam
Wahe Guru ji Ka khalsa, Wahe Guru ji ki Fateh

(REPLY) Sat Nam. I appreciate your respectful question and wonder if you have read any of the numerous postings on the subject of inter-marriage between Sikhs and non-Sikhs that have appeared on this site? Please do some research and you will find an overwhelming number who cite the difficulties and challenges and reasons why these marriages are not recommended. Sikhs look upon marriage as the merging of two bodies into one soul. the way of worship, and the devotion of the partners really needs to be the same,so that they can be of one mind as well in this regard, and raise their children without confusion. Sikhs worship only ONE GOD and we have our Shabd Guru as the ultimate guide. Of course we respect those who worship differently, but that doesn't mean that we change our ways either. May God bless you with wisdom, SP
