Haha its funny how Al jazeera is reporting on Interfaith weddings when in Islam interfaith wedding are prohibited especially for women. which religion is more intolerant now?
Sikhs can marry anyone it's just that particular group have gone around trying to stop it in the place if worship because either one of the bride or groom does not accept Sikhism and when marrying there you go around and give your self to guru which wouldn't make sense if you weren't Sikh but in my opinion it's anyones choice as long as they respect sikhsm and know that gurus word is true
@Haider Ibn Akhlaq most people date whoever they want nowadays and get married but you never see a Muslim woman with a man of another religion but you see Muslim men with other women of different religions. The only reason you don't see married Muslim men with non Muslim women is because they convert them before marrying
Sikhs are NOT against mixed marriages. Sikhs are protesting against the mis-use of the Anand Karaaj (Blissful union of the souls), which is The Gurus ceremony, where vows should be taken by only two Sikhs who accept The Gurus words. Otherwise the mixed faith couples are more than welcome in Sikh Gurudwaras (as has been the case past to present) to perform any other prayers / seek blessings at The Gurudwara (Sikh Temple).
BloodySinner I did not get your response. That is a very uneducated comment and one of the worse probably posted on RUclips. Let's stop the hatred towards religions' or races and start respecting each others religions/dharmas or cultural way of life.

U become sikh only when u follow 5ks and done that holy ceremony,, without that, u just have faith in sikhism but you are not sikh,, and rding to that logic, u r not sikh too
Being from a Sikh family, I was always taught one basic thing since my childhood about SIKHISM that Gurus and Gurudwaras are for everyone without any discrimination. If someone(does not matter to what religion he/she belongs to) wanted to get married in presence of SHRI GURU GRANTH SAHIB JI and seeks blessings for their better future.. then no one has the right to judge these couples. To all those people who wants to shut the door of Gurudwaras for these couples ;please again go through the basic teachings of our Gurus and you shall get your answer. WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA ,WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH.
@@sophiavirk6724 the rehitmaryada was composed of bhai nand lal ji one of guru gobind singhs writers that they loved bhai nand lal ji asked guru ji questions and he awnsered them sikhs can not do anand karaj with non sikhs but can to mata tek and take blessing
Dude you talk about Sikhi in Dharma which is over 15 000 years old it is already foretold that one is judged by their deeds not birth. It dosent matter which religion or caste everyone is judged by their Karma. When it comes to marriage then the fact is which i know from many Sikh girls that Sikh males are very lessserious about their life compared to Hindu and Muslim boys. Sikh males drink much and quarrell and they always hear swearing from their fathers who abused their mothers. This is why Sikh girls choose men from other faiths and Sikh men falls behind.
@Lovepreet ਸਿੰਘ ਲੋਹਬਾਣਾ Today there are more Hindus who are seeking their ancient history as do Europeans and thats because of Islamization of India and Europe- Hindu history is much ancient and there were times when India had close millitary ties with China and had trade deals with Greece. Also when you claim that Sikhs are different then youmust be different and not copy and paste from Hinduism like Kesari flag of Sikhs origins from Hinduism and name Singh is a Hindu name.
The reason why the Sikh wedding ceremony can happen for a couple who have different religions, is that the sikh ceremony is not just a wedding ceremony but it is a declaration that now as Sikhs couple we will take an oath to believe in God and follow the Guru. It would not make scenes for a Muslim or Christian to take the oath if they will never follow the gurus way and also believe in a different prophet or leader. Terrible news report. also a sikh can marry anyone and even get blessed in the gurdwara but they can not use the original Sikh wedding ceremony due to the oath. and that's really it.
I don't normally reply to comments but I had to make an exception for your idiocy. A Sikh mosque? jihadi sharia law and getting married in a mosque not accepting the Sikh faith? Please educate yourself before making unbelievably stupid comments.
I’m a white Christian that wouldn’t mind marrying someone from your faith so I don’t see why anyone should be mad at two people being in love your people are beautiful
It’s not the marriage per say it’s the location. The Sikh anand karaj is a religious ceremony. To have nonsikhs take part makes a mockery of it. They shouldn’t force themselves into a religious ceremony. If you want to have an anand karaj in the gurdwara you have to follow what is laid out in that. You shouldn’t force the ceremony to come down to your standards that’s not how it works.
Hi I'm a third gen Sikh immigrant in the UK who converted to Christianity (non denomination) because i could not stand these contradictions and the politicisation of the Sikh religion. I found in my learning of biblical principles that Jesus accepted everyone who wants to come to him. He washed the feet of his apostles and spoke to Samaritan peoples.
@@Mankowest what would Jesus say if people got married by rotating around him and then bowing to him but then wouldn’t do anything he said, wouldn’t even care about what he said? LUke 6:46 “and why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?”
It's not about intolerance, it's about Sikhi. In Sikhi two SIKHS must get blessing from Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, the anand karaj is for Sikhs. A Non-sikh and sikh can get married without any issues but to force this wedding to happen in a gurdwara is against sikhi. The sikh council are 100% correct in their decision.
How did Guru Nanak marry? No where it is written a non Sikh can not marry a Sikh. Gurudwara in Slough allows shoes in langar hall. Most british Sikhs prefer to stand and eat in langar hall instead of being in pangat. Bigots. People are dogmatic (rituals).
@@jsmal7065 So shoes in Langar? That's dirty. The reason why shoes should be removed is for hygiene reasons. Why would you bring dirt into your homes and places of worship in fact, is beyond me. Just practical.
@@jsmal7065 it is clearly written in our minimum written protocols sikh rehat maryada that Sikh should give their daughter in marriage to only a sikh that those who take part in anand karaj should be sikhs. Guru Nanak got married going around shabad guru. Hardly bigoted at all. It is a mockery to have someone bow before a guru that they don’t accept as their guru. Others should not force their way into a Sikh ceremony.
Sikhs arent against mixed marriages, just dont get married in the Gurdwara because the ceremony that is performed is pointless then because the ceremony vows you will both make sikhism an important part of your lives.
There was a time back in the day where the World’s 3rd, 4th & 5th Largest Religions - ॐHindus, ☸Buddhists & ☬Sikhs never felt any different from one another - both inside & outside 🇮🇳 India.
if some one is Christian, Muslim etc.. and decides to marry a sikh in a sikh they have to go through something called "Anand Karaj" basically the couple will walk around Guru ji 4time each time you promise Guru ji that they will be good Sikhs and be able active responsible member to community (not just sikh community but to all and help all) The problem is that how can Christian or Muslim vow to Guru ji for being a good Sikh when they don't believe in Sikhism lol.. Tat is what's going on here its better to just to your govt office and get married.. If I was to marry a Muslim girl I am required to be Muslim and believe in Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) If I say I'll marry and say the words but not believe in Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) the quazi will be say you can't do nikah(marry)
Aman Singh ffs. most ppl just do this for the families sakes. knew a Sikh guy and Muslim girl. the guy said the kalama and the girl did the Anand karaj. because both the families wanted it
I think its not right that Al Jazeera, an islamic channel is commenting on interfaith marriages in sikh religion when in Islam interfaith marriages aren't allowed for women and men can only marry Christian and Jews or someone from the Islamic faith.
Is nothing every allowed for downtrodden Muslim women? . Thank goodness I am a Humanist We don't need gods, gurus, priests, rabbis, imams et al in order to live a moral and decent life. - we use our brains. Globally.women will never have equally as most of the faiths subjugate them and historically have never give them the same rights as men. Even Christianity. which has reformed massively over time, still can discriminate. As for Islam, countries where women are treated very badly tend to be from that fait..In Sharia, the word of a woman is worth half that of man in a court of law. So you see, absolutely nothing to commend such a belief system. However in UK, if anyone dares to critically debate what is a very misogynistic faith, immediately they are branded as ‘Islamophobic” - thefar Left does not allow it. We are gagged.
It's AL JAZEERA , they are trying to divide SIKHS and HINDUS . we both share centuries old beautifull bond . they can't break it. Even panch pyaare were also hindus before amrit paan. Banda singh bahadur was also madho das ( Hindu Sanyasi ) before he met GURU GOVIND singh ji . we are undivideble .
That guy at 0:54 was actually my camp instructor at my gurdwara (shown in pictures in the videos) and he made us promise not to marry anyone outside of sikhism :/
Sikh can Marry anyone By Sikh tradition No need to even conversion of Faith , non Sikh Spouse can practice her/his maiden faith after marriage . Sikhism doesn’t believe in conversion but is very tolerant and respectful to other religions
Understand the lavan path,its a porimise to Guru, then only go for Anand Karaj.People dont understand gurbani shabad and come for Anad karaj. there are other options like court marriage
These protests and objections don't sound anything like the beautiful and tolerant Sikhs I know. I'm not confident that the issues are being reported accurately here. The planet seems determined to go upside down lately.
studio 2020 what they did/are doing is absolutely correct. anand Karaj has its rules.. non sikh can do anand Karaj, so next best option is court marriage
My GURU GRANTH SAHIB JI SAYS "there is no religion but humanity" don't misconstrue my guru's teachings... you are spoiling everything they worked for-To teach every one that there is no religion at all... and now you are telling that you follow that guru and saying we are from Sikh religion and we can do this and he/she can't ??? Dont tell me... its so absurd... you are first A Human Being... this is what guru has said... please open your eyes and mind and see what guru has said... please... AWAL ALLAH NUR UPAYA... KUDRAT KE SAB BANDE... EK NUR TE SB JAG UPJEYA... KON BHALE KON MANDE... My Guru would have never appreciated this.. WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH Dont be misguided by people or preachers... seek blessings and guidance only and direct from guru... i know you all doesn't mean that but this will result in the dilution of our faith just like others... please Otherwise there will be a day when these distinctiveness will force sikhs to forbid others to entering into gurudwara becouse they are not Sikhs... please see what will be the consequences...
this is abseloutly wrong, religion shouldnt seperate you from merrying somone from a different religion, i know sikhi well and sikhi does not teach that
shove your politically correct atheist leftist liberal thinking up your nasty hole. Sikhism and hinduism DOES teach you MUST marry a fellow adherent you moron! all religions do. If you dont agree with it just marry someone outside of church no1 is begging or forcing you to join a certain religions club and marry someone in it.
it is better to marry within your own religion and a lot of religions have restrictions on marrying outside the faith like islam for women or Judaism where it is more clear
sikhi teaches that before we are sikh muslim hindu or any other religion, we are humans first, and being a human its natural to love anyone, by merrying someone outside my religion doesn't make me bad, it shows that someone has set aside my religious views and loved me for who i am
no it just teaches that we are all human so we should remember that when dealing with others and marrying outside your religion means you are not really strong in your faith that is why it is liberal who are not really practising that are marrying outside the faith it is same in all communities but we sikhs dont mind if you still chooce to marry outside but you will not be allowed to marry in the gurudwara
What if a non Sikh takes Amrit and vows to abide by Sikhi and to follow the Guru? Would they then be allowed to marry a Sikh and take Anand Karaj in the Gurdwara?
Jassie Jass Yes, why not. For anand karaj ceremony, both groom and bride MUST be a practicing sikh(with turban/beard/unshorn hair) irrespective of caste, creed, skin colour etc.
Both Sikhs and Hindus weddings follow the same way of practice. While Hindus chant mantras . Sikh say prayers and hymns for the couple I feel these protests are wrong
thank god these extremist Sikhs have no place in India. Gurudwara Sahib (Sikh temple) is open to all in India and every Sikh can marry anyone from same faith or not in India.
In 1579, the fifth Guru, Guru Arjan Sahib Ji and Mata Ganga were the first couple to be married through the Anand Karaj ceremony. NOW WHO IS HINDU AND WHO IS SIKH can be a controversy
What do you all say to "sikhs" that are simply born into sikh/punjabi families that have the anand karaj ceremony simply because of cultural tradition, or to appease family? Meanwhile, they are probably do not follow sikhi, or even understand what anand karaj is. What of them? For example, I know many sikhs who say they are sikh simply because they were born to sikh parents, don't understand sikhi entirely, and yet get married with the anand karaj ceremony. Is it automatically a given right to a "sikh" born to sikh family to wed this way?
If you are a Sikh and follow the teaching of Guru Nanak Dev Jii then you can get married in the Gurudwara. Mostly people who are born in Sikhism follows Guru Nanak Dev jii in some way, maybe they won’t know the meaning of Anand Karaj but they do follow the teaching so it’s acceptable.
Being a Sikh these extremists who are opposed to mixed weddings are hypocrites. The Sikh religion teaches us to be respectful towards everyone and everyone's religion. Our gurus never mentioned anything regarding marrying out of religion or caste. All they ask is to be respectful to everyone regardless of background. As regard to the anand kharaj, it only asks us to be faithful to each other. You can marry out of caste in our temple but these extremists have their own silly ideas. They are going against what our faith teaches us. the gurus have said not to discriminate which also means not to discriminate against anything including marriage!
If they are so passionate about this ceremony, why don't they stop all Sikh weddings (sikhs marrying sikhs) and ask how religious they are before they allow them to marry! Such time wasters and an embarrassment they are for sikhs! They should know that not all sikhs are very religious, but they obviously have an issue with marrying outside the religion but they won't stop sikhs marrying sikhs even if the Sikhs who are getting married are not religious! They talk about a Sikh needs to believe in our guru before they married(our guru never said this), but there are sikhs who don't believe but they won't stop these marriages. Such hypocrites!!
@Rupinder Chaggar no it wasn't changed by people, you are the one who needs to read gurbani, of course it says in the REHATNAMAS And those are Guru Gobind Singh ji's words that Sikh should only marry his daughter to a sikh. You probably don't even know what a Rehatnama is, go and find out and thn read that.
Last time I checked a lot of Muslim and Hindu girls who were saved by Sikhs during the 18th century married there saviours due to there family's not accepting them majorityOf them kept there faith they were born into gurdwara is a place for anyone to come visit and marry. Khalistan zindabad
Anand Karaj is only for Sikhs. Historically it was only for Amritdharis, but now “Sikhs” have completely changed Puratan GurMaryada to suit their own beliefs. When you’re having your Anand Karaj you are making a promise between you and Guru Sahib. Guru Ji is giving Sikhia for you to live by. How is a Christian going to do that? Sorry, but have your Interfaith Marriage somewhere else. I don’t care if you want to have an interfaith marriage but you can’t do it in a Gurdwara
We Christians admire Sikh, you guys are shoved right between hinduism and islam yet still manage to still kept their religion. Sikhism is like a bridge between Christianity and Hinduism (two most least connected religions)
yes this is what we need.For far too long Sikhs have been taken for granted and have allowed people from other faiths to Marry into sikhi. We have started doing this in India now.And I will see to it that more and more Gurudwara do not allow Sikhs to marry outside their faith's
loveroflife yeah agreed but you need to understand that we have Avery small population and that we need to look at strict measure to convert and increase our population
loveroflife yes.This is what happens when you are sold half truths.We have been sold wrong notions about Sikhi.Look up basics of sikhi and just google about nawab kapur singhHe was responsible for converting people all through India to sikhi.We are not some sweet shop where people can simply walk in and leave .The time has come that we need to start converting people if we are to survive
Sikhs never play there minority card. The most successful people in the world are Sikhs and they don't ask for handouts, in fact they are giving away more than taking
They are not against inter-faith marriages. All they are saying is that you can have your inter-faith marriages anywhere else except for the Gurudwara, simply because it is a trivialisation of the entire religious ceremony when one of the partners doesn't know or understand anything about Sikhism and its values.
roma No, It's NOT. unless you're trying to say Sikhism is contradictory to Sikhism, Don't be a brainless sheep who believes everything people say, Use your brain and do your research. Because you're too lazy to use your brain I will make the questions and will give you the right answers. Can Sikhs marry non-Sikhs ? No. Rehat Maryada (Sikh Code of Conduct) Article XVIII Section K: "People professing faiths other than the Sikh faith cannot be joined in wedlock by the Anand Karaj ceremony." You're welcome.
Sikh gurdwaras often stress it's meant to be a home to volunteer for EVERYBODY (poor, castes, religions). Majority of the gurdwaras in the West are run by families or men that usually fight over committee position. I never heard of any of them fighting about something like this (it doesn't relate to them and ruining their wedding). They're definitely not allowed to be refused to enter or accepted LOL. This is one temple in the U.K. (where they do everything gay). Majority of Sikhs are the opposite of this. It's just an ARGUMENT (protest or not, FYI because the main leaders were allowing the ceremony). Majority of the weddings among Sikhs must be fake too because most are not baptized. At least they don't expect others to become Sikh. Why I don't trust Al-Jazeera.
Mixed marriages are Fine nothing wrong with that and they are also living in England if they don't like it .. They can go back to India and do what ever they like but as long as they live in United Kingdom they have to live by our Rules End off.
Daniel Schwartz what you on about our rules you nonsensical deluded clown . I'm third generation almost all my fellow brothers in the UK are real white brits. What you don't no is we've had Sikh regiments in the British army from the 18th century. I've showed your demented comment 2 my white real brits they think your a silly sausage. Fix up
350 saala toh hindu sikh weddings hondi aarhi aan meri parjai wi sikh pariwar toh ai jisdi shaadi gurdware which hui si hun achanak ki hogya hai sikha nu aina radicalism aagya hai kattar wad badi galat gal aa tolerance 0 hogayi hai especially for hindus
The person who’s the secretary saying we’re contradicting is completely wrong and not even practicing sikhi- You have to believe in the guru to get an ANNAD KARAAJ- Not just be a person- it is a wedding for a Sikh not a non Sikh - if you want a non Sikh wedding go elsewhere
i dont understand though, i have seen sikh (men and women) marrying hindu punjabis in gudwaras for 45 years of my life anyway. (i live in west london between southall - hounslow)
Sikh Khalsa - Your totally wrong - people like you give Sikhi a bad name - "The Gurus ceremony, where vows should be taken by only two Sikhs who accept - " THIS IS WRONG ! Those who wish to visit and pay respect to Siri Guru Granth Sahib are allowed by any faith, any time and those wishing to take their marriage Vows in front of the Siri Guru Granth Sahib are allowed and should not have to fear any person or institution. These self-styled goons should be dealt with a firm hand by the Majority of Sikh community. I am proud Sikh and hate seeing these type of morons ,imposing their style of inward thinking on the Sikh community in the UK.
Can I just add all other religions don't allow mixed marriages either not just Sikhs. For the guy speaking at 1.20 we don't believe all other religions are a path to the same destination otherwise Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji wouldn't have created Sikhism. WJKK WJKF
should b opened to any faith, they cannot stop anyone from getting married by law dont have to follow there ground rules.. temples r welcomed to everyone
This news report thing is all wrong. There is a difference between marrying and following the words of the GURU than just sitting there pointlessly not understanding what you are agreeing to. SMH
If it doesn't re-link you (religio) with your loving humanity and cultivate a peaceful, sharing environment, then it's a cult. 'Love thy neighbor' is a religious idea. 'Kill the infidel' is a cult idea. There is a difference, but don't tell a cult member that because smart can see stupid, but stupid can't see smart. Islam is a murder/suicide cult and the people practicing it admit it openly, and they're operating on the assumption that others are even dumber than they are. I look around and I can't say they're entirely wrong about that, with everyone telling themselves islam is peaceful and our governments arming them to the teeth. Trump's inauguration won't happen a minute too soon.
you can agree with it 1000 % as you wish? my simple question is? why are the 1.5 BILLION muslims not killing inocent women children? me for instance? my friends family in the mosque? we are not the treu folowers of islam the 1.5 BILLION muslims? but the 100.000 facist ISIS killers? is that fair or logical? do you agree with that asumption? am I not an folower of islam?
Is it just me or does AL Jazeera only publish stuff that makes other religions look bad? Plus this definitely isn't the whole story other news networks have covered this much more in depth.
when i was a kid in school I remember white people parents used to tell them they can marry a person who has black hair or color, white people hated people that were not white. she said this and her father would hate her also. So full of hatred heh?
The issue is with the sikh religious marriage ceremony which can only be for Sikhs. other forms of prayer are offered. why should non-sikh take Vow to only follow Sikhism. become a Sikh first or have ceremony of your own religion
sabaa singh chhina surely taking that vow would make them a defacto Sikh? who gets to judge who is and isn't Sikh? lots of Sikhs make 'non Sikh' choices and lots of non Sikhs live 'Sikh' lifestyles...
Cam Google a Sikh doesn't have to be perfect, no one is perfect except God. but a Sikh does have to believe in the ten Gurus, accept Guru Granth Sahib Ji as their living Guru, believe in the spiritual power granted by Amrit baptism ceremony, and denounce profession to all other religions. If bride and groom accepts this, then there is no issue with the sacred Anand Karaj ceremony. if they are not able to do this, then they can have an Ardaas Prayer for their marriage instead.
Aljazeera . You should be thorough in your research and the title is MISLEADING .The information you give in this video is limited to your own opinions and doesnt tell the full story . Sikh have no issue with people of different backgrounds all are welcome to the Gurdwara . But when it comes to religeous ceremonies like weddings, death , birth, baptism there are guidlines that must be followed to whomever that wishes to participate in it within the Gurdwara . We are againts those who chose to disrespect the ceremonies . Simple as that . So report on those who direspect the faith . Not your opinions
Look no matter what background, you come from, you should be Abel to marry in gurdwara, and if not then can all the Sikhs stop giving them self's English names, like bill, Gary, tom,etc etc.get real.
Funny how the gatekeepers of religion are always self-appointed. I guess according to their thinking the Guru's teaching that anyone can be a Sikh, i.e. it's a mindset, does not exist.

I have no problem with folk of different Faiths getting married however, a Religious place should only conduct a marriage between those who follow that Faith and so, mixed faiths should go to a secular place to marry !

Having lived in Britain for nearly a decade and coming to Britain from India, I have found British Sikhs to be biggest bigots. 7 Gurdwaras in Southall- separate for Ramgarhias, Ravidasias. When the sewadars see a big turban, in a langar hall, will ask in taunt how many parshadas but if a guy has a "samosa" turban he is treated with more respect. In Havelock road gurdwara, if you want to have a library membership, I was asked, If I am married...Irrelevant questions by ignorant sewadars who make their own rules.
You mean British Panjabis. You cant be a Sikh if you dont follow the Gurus teachings. This is panjabi clique behavoir, happens with hindu panjabis as well.
gary mann yes everyone has the right to marry WHO they want, but noone has the right to marry WHERE they want. if u wanna get married in US, u need the proper documents n be US citizen, same for any nation. if u want to get married in mosque or catholic church, u have to be of that religion follow those guidelines
interfaith marriages have not been taking place for centuries what a load of innacurate bollocks...if you wanna get involved in our affairs at least get your facts right Al jazeera
Firstly i would like to say that every human is as precious and is a part of Waheguru... For people who want to marry someone outside their race... By all means if that makes you happy... I'll even vouch for u... But when it comes to Anand Karaj, it's not a ritual, it's not a custom, it's not just any ceremony.... It has religious values attached to it (not going to go into the depths of explaining Gurbani here)... So for someone who is not a Sikh and who does not follow the teaching of Sikhism, whats the purpose of even doing the Anand Karaj other than it being just another function to get family and friends to attend.... Get registered in the court of law and throw an awesome party for family and friends... My question is why do something that you don't even believe in?
Sikhism is a contradiction of Sikhism.. Sikhism saw divine everywhere without form direction and formalness, critisized others for rigidity while becoming a formal rigid group itself
Guru Nanak says in Japji Sahib: “Accept all humans as your equals, and let them be your only sect” (Japji 28). ... Therefore, Sikhs believe that all human beings are equal. im sure other people believe this two even f they are not sikhs

Well it's takes courage to speak out thr truth'. Not everyone does that specifically INDIAN NEWS channels 😂
Being from a Sikh family, I was always taught one basic thing since my childhood about SIKHISM that Gurus and Gurudwaras are for everyone without any discrimination. If someone(does not matter to what religion he/she belongs to) wanted to get married in presence of SHRI GURU GRANTH SAHIB JI and seeks blessings for their better future.. then no one has the right to judge these couples. To all those people who wants to shut the door of Gurudwaras for these couples ;please again go through the basic teachings of our Gurus and you shall get your answer. WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA ,WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH.
OH so you are saying that what says in the "Rehatmaryada" sikh should only marry sikh, does on matter?
@@sophiavirk6724 the rehitmaryada was composed of bhai nand lal ji one of guru gobind singhs writers that they loved bhai nand lal ji asked guru ji questions and he awnsered them sikhs can not do anand karaj with non sikhs but can to mata tek and take blessing
@@sophiavirk6724 read the first lav it says yku have to make vows to guru ji to only belive him
Dude you talk about Sikhi in Dharma which is over 15 000 years old it is already foretold that one is judged by their deeds not birth. It dosent matter which religion or caste everyone is judged by their Karma. When it comes to marriage then the fact is which i know from many Sikh girls that Sikh males are very lessserious about their life compared to Hindu and Muslim boys. Sikh males drink much and quarrell and they always hear swearing from their fathers who abused their mothers.
This is why Sikh girls choose men from other faiths and Sikh men falls behind.

Today there are more Hindus who are seeking their ancient history as do Europeans and thats because of Islamization of India and Europe- Hindu history is much ancient and there were times when India had close millitary ties with China and had trade deals with Greece.
Also when you claim that Sikhs are different then youmust be different and not copy and paste from Hinduism like Kesari flag of Sikhs origins from Hinduism and name Singh is a Hindu name.
The reason why the Sikh wedding ceremony can happen for a couple who have different religions, is that the sikh ceremony is not just a wedding ceremony but it is a declaration that now as Sikhs couple we will take an oath to believe in God and follow the Guru. It would not make scenes for a Muslim or Christian to take the oath if they will never follow the gurus way and also believe in a different prophet or leader. Terrible news report. also a sikh can marry anyone and even get blessed in the gurdwara but they can not use the original Sikh wedding ceremony due to the oath. and that's really it.
I don't normally reply to comments but I had to make an exception for your idiocy. A Sikh mosque? jihadi sharia law and getting married in a mosque not accepting the Sikh faith? Please educate yourself before making unbelievably stupid comments.
Yeh Sure, thanks, shows your mental stability, can you write that in English not in Jihadi!
amardeep singh stupid than its non less than islam
You idiot Sikhism is monotheistic religion so no question of other god. it believes they all are one.
you are 100% right, our region is different. Stupid people cannot comment on our beliefs. but because they are twats they feel they have to.
I’m a white Christian that wouldn’t mind marrying someone from your faith so I don’t see why anyone should be mad at two people being in love your people are beautiful
It’s not the marriage per say it’s the location. The Sikh anand karaj is a religious ceremony. To have nonsikhs take part makes a mockery of it. They shouldn’t force themselves into a religious ceremony. If you want to have an anand karaj in the gurdwara you have to follow what is laid out in that. You shouldn’t force the ceremony to come down to your standards that’s not how it works.
Hi I'm a third gen Sikh immigrant in the UK who converted to Christianity (non denomination) because i could not stand these contradictions and the politicisation of the Sikh religion. I found in my learning of biblical principles that Jesus accepted everyone who wants to come to him. He washed the feet of his apostles and spoke to Samaritan peoples.
@@prabhsimransingh3074 that's so silly.
@@Mankowest what would Jesus say if people got married by rotating around him and then bowing to him but then wouldn’t do anything he said, wouldn’t even care about what he said? LUke 6:46 “and why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?”
@@GaganSingh-nx2yv yes you are right it is silly for people to take part in a religious ceremony and not even be religious.
Why can't we all just get along? Why do religions strive to separate us?
mantovannni religions were meant to unite not to separate but some extremists take it extreme
Because of culture and there's nothing wrong with that.
It's not about intolerance, it's about Sikhi. In Sikhi two SIKHS must get blessing from Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, the anand karaj is for Sikhs. A Non-sikh and sikh can get married without any issues but to force this wedding to happen in a gurdwara is against sikhi. The sikh council are 100% correct in their decision.
How did Guru Nanak marry? No where it is written a non Sikh can not marry a Sikh. Gurudwara in Slough allows shoes in langar hall. Most british Sikhs prefer to stand and eat in langar hall instead of being in pangat. Bigots. People are dogmatic (rituals).
@@jsmal7065 So shoes in Langar? That's dirty. The reason why shoes should be removed is for hygiene reasons. Why would you bring dirt into your homes and places of worship in fact, is beyond me. Just practical.
@@jsmal7065 it is clearly written in our minimum written protocols sikh rehat maryada that Sikh should give their daughter in marriage to only a sikh that those who take part in anand karaj should be sikhs. Guru Nanak got married going around shabad guru. Hardly bigoted at all. It is a mockery to have someone bow before a guru that they don’t accept as their guru. Others should not force their way into a Sikh ceremony.
@@prabhsimransingh3074 Rehat Maryada :) every gurdwara, jatha, has its own.
@@jsmal7065are u sikh??
Sikhs arent against mixed marriages, just dont get married in the Gurdwara because the ceremony that is performed is pointless then because the ceremony vows you will both make sikhism an important part of your lives.
Inderdeep Purewal Yes
Inderdeep Purewal Stop being some Sikh extremist, let people live happily
Inderdeep Purewal ego? how?

There was a time back in the day where the World’s 3rd, 4th & 5th Largest Religions - ॐHindus, ☸Buddhists & ☬Sikhs never felt any different from one another - both inside & outside 🇮🇳 India.
if some one is Christian, Muslim etc.. and decides to marry a sikh in a sikh they have to go through something called "Anand Karaj" basically the couple will walk around Guru ji 4time each time you promise Guru ji that they will be good Sikhs and be able active responsible member to community (not just sikh community but to all and help all)
The problem is that how can Christian or Muslim vow to Guru ji for being a good Sikh when they don't believe in Sikhism lol.. Tat is what's going on here its better to just to your govt office and get married..
If I was to marry a Muslim girl I am required to be Muslim and believe in Prophet Mohammed (PBUH)
If I say I'll marry and say the words but not believe in Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) the quazi will be say you can't do nikah(marry)
Aman Singh ffs. most ppl just do this for the families sakes. knew a Sikh guy and Muslim girl. the guy said the kalama and the girl did the Anand karaj. because both the families wanted it
@@JL-uw8xm girl probably converted by now
@My choice they actually have 2 children. Lovely kids.
@City Skyline no lol. Shes still muslim. And the kids are neither
I think its not right that Al Jazeera, an islamic channel is commenting on interfaith marriages in sikh religion when in Islam interfaith marriages aren't allowed for women and men can only marry Christian and Jews or someone from the Islamic faith.
Is nothing every allowed for downtrodden Muslim women? . Thank goodness I am a Humanist We don't need gods, gurus, priests, rabbis, imams et al in order to live a moral and decent life. - we use our brains. Globally.women will never have equally as most of the faiths subjugate them and historically have never give them the same rights as men. Even Christianity. which has reformed massively over time, still can discriminate. As for Islam, countries where women are treated very badly tend to be from that fait..In Sharia, the word of a woman is worth half that of man in a court of law. So you see, absolutely nothing to commend such a belief system. However in UK, if anyone dares to critically debate what is a very misogynistic faith, immediately they are branded as ‘Islamophobic” - thefar Left does not allow it. We are gagged.
It's AL JAZEERA , they are trying to divide SIKHS and HINDUS . we both share centuries old beautifull bond . they can't break it. Even panch pyaare were also hindus before amrit paan. Banda singh bahadur was also madho das ( Hindu Sanyasi ) before he met GURU GOVIND singh ji . we are undivideble .
Sikh men are good looking
Sikhs r never against interfaith marriages
We are as oer Guru Gobind Singhs Hukam not to marry you daughter out of thr faith
That guy at 0:54 was actually my camp instructor at my gurdwara (shown in pictures in the videos) and he made us promise not to marry anyone outside of sikhism :/
Asteraus wow really
Extremism in Sikhism . Wow
I hereby declare that it is acceptable for super hot white girls to marry Sikh men
Waheguru!
Shut up
Sikh can Marry anyone
By Sikh tradition
No need to even conversion of

@@greater5677willingly huhh😂😂
The temple at the beginning is in my home town, was pretty crazy hearing about it.
Understand the lavan path,its a porimise to Guru, then only go for Anand Karaj.People dont understand gurbani shabad and come for Anad karaj. there are other options like court marriage
These protests and objections don't sound anything like the beautiful and tolerant Sikhs I know. I'm not confident that the issues are being reported accurately here. The planet seems determined to go upside down lately.
studio 2020 what they did/are doing is absolutely correct. anand Karaj has its rules.. non sikh can do anand Karaj, so next best option is court marriage
My GURU GRANTH SAHIB JI SAYS "there is no religion but humanity" don't misconstrue my guru's teachings... you are spoiling everything they worked for-To teach every one that there is no religion at all... and now you are telling that you follow that guru and saying we are from Sikh religion and we can do this and he/she can't ???

Dont be misguided by people or preachers... seek blessings and guidance only and direct from guru... i know you all doesn't mean that but this will result in the dilution of our faith just like others... please
Otherwise there will be a day when these distinctiveness will force sikhs to forbid others to entering into gurudwara becouse they are not Sikhs... please see what will be the consequences...
this is abseloutly wrong, religion shouldnt seperate you from merrying somone from a different religion, i know sikhi well and sikhi does not teach that
shove your politically correct atheist leftist liberal thinking up your nasty hole. Sikhism and hinduism DOES teach you MUST marry a fellow adherent you moron! all religions do. If you dont agree with it just marry someone outside of church no1 is begging or forcing you to join a certain religions club and marry someone in it.
it is better to marry within your own religion and a lot of religions have restrictions on marrying outside the faith like islam for women or Judaism where it is more clear
sikhi teaches that before we are sikh muslim hindu or any other religion, we are humans first, and being a human its natural to love anyone, by merrying someone outside my religion doesn't make me bad, it shows that someone has set aside my religious views and loved me for who i am
no it just teaches that we are all human so we should remember that when dealing with others and marrying outside your religion means you are not really strong in your faith that is why it is liberal who are not really practising that are marrying outside the faith it is same in all communities but we sikhs dont mind if you still chooce to marry outside but you will not be allowed to marry in the gurudwara
What if a non Sikh takes Amrit and vows to abide by Sikhi and to follow the Guru? Would they then be allowed to marry a Sikh and take Anand Karaj in the Gurdwara?
Jassie Jass Yes, why not. For anand karaj ceremony, both groom and bride MUST be a practicing sikh(with turban/beard/unshorn hair) irrespective of caste, creed, skin colour etc.
Obviously the ceremony is only for 2 sikhs
Both Sikhs and Hindus weddings follow the same way of practice. While Hindus chant mantras . Sikh say prayers and hymns for the couple I feel these protests are wrong
dude no
No
thank god these extremist Sikhs have no place in India. Gurudwara Sahib (Sikh temple) is open to all in India and every Sikh can marry anyone from same faith or not in India.
No bro they can not marry a non sikh in the gurudwara but that does not mean that we can not marry a non sikh at all
@Lovepreet SINGH sikh kaum ka naam barbaad kar rahe ho aap. Asli khalsa kisi dharam ko gaali nahi dete
In 1579, the fifth Guru, Guru Arjan Sahib Ji and Mata Ganga were the first couple to be married through the Anand Karaj ceremony. NOW WHO IS HINDU AND WHO IS SIKH can be a controversy
Lol thats so wrong. Guru Granth Sahib itself was established after 10th Guru Gobind Singh ji
What do you all say to "sikhs" that are simply born into sikh/punjabi families that have the anand karaj ceremony simply because of cultural tradition, or to appease family? Meanwhile, they are probably do not follow sikhi, or even understand what anand karaj is. What of them? For example, I know many sikhs who say they are sikh simply because they were born to sikh parents, don't understand sikhi entirely, and yet get married with the anand karaj ceremony.
Is it automatically a given right to a "sikh" born to sikh family to wed this way?
It is about belief as long as they believe in the Guru Granth Sahib as their guidance than that is fine.
If you are a Sikh and follow the teaching of Guru Nanak Dev Jii then you can get married in the Gurudwara. Mostly people who are born in Sikhism follows Guru Nanak Dev jii in some way, maybe they won’t know the meaning of Anand Karaj but they do follow the teaching so it’s acceptable.
Being a Sikh these extremists who are opposed to mixed weddings are hypocrites. The Sikh religion teaches us to be respectful towards everyone and everyone's religion. Our gurus never mentioned anything regarding marrying out of religion or caste. All they ask is to be respectful to everyone regardless of background. As regard to the anand kharaj, it only asks us to be faithful to each other. You can marry out of caste in our temple but these extremists have their own silly ideas. They are going against what our faith teaches us. the gurus have said not to discriminate which also means not to discriminate against anything including marriage!
If they are so passionate about this ceremony, why don't they stop all Sikh weddings (sikhs marrying sikhs) and ask how religious they are before they allow them to marry! Such time wasters and an embarrassment they are for sikhs!
They should know that not all sikhs are very religious, but they obviously have an issue with marrying outside the religion but they won't stop sikhs marrying sikhs even if the Sikhs who are getting married are not religious! They talk about a Sikh needs to believe in our guru before they married(our guru never said this), but there are sikhs who don't believe but they won't stop these marriages. Such hypocrites!!
rupls4 read the translation of the laavan the say how the Guru never said this
[GD] Airman
I have. Can you point out where it says that a Sikh has to marry a Sikh?
[GD] Airman
Can you also point out that discrimination has taken place and the Sikh religion is against this!
desiboys ...hahahah...dude u have to read guru granth sahib ji....it was told in rehtnam....after 84...
@Rupinder Chaggar no it wasn't changed by people, you are the one who needs to read gurbani, of course it says in the REHATNAMAS And those are Guru Gobind Singh ji's words that Sikh should only marry his daughter to a sikh.
You probably don't even know what a Rehatnama is, go and find out and thn read that.
Last time I checked a lot of Muslim and Hindu girls who were saved by Sikhs during the 18th century married there saviours due to there family's not accepting them majorityOf them kept there faith they were born into gurdwara is a place for anyone to come visit and marry. Khalistan zindabad
Khalsa is about purity not about Land. You are Sikh, I am nobody to preach you on that.
if god is one then? why on earth are they protesting it.
Anand Karaj is between two Sikh, not between Sikh and non-Sikh. They can marry, but not in that tradition or in Gurdwara.
Anand Karaj is only for Sikhs. Historically it was only for Amritdharis, but now “Sikhs” have completely changed Puratan GurMaryada to suit their own beliefs. When you’re having your Anand Karaj you are making a promise between you and Guru Sahib. Guru Ji is giving Sikhia for you to live by. How is a Christian going to do that? Sorry, but have your Interfaith Marriage somewhere else. I don’t care if you want to have an interfaith marriage but you can’t do it in a Gurdwara
We Christians admire Sikh, you guys are shoved right between hinduism and islam yet still manage to still kept their religion. Sikhism is like a bridge between Christianity and Hinduism (two most least connected religions)
yes this is what we need.For far too long Sikhs have been taken for granted and have allowed people from other faiths to Marry into sikhi.
We have started doing this in India now.And I will see to it that more and more Gurudwara do not allow Sikhs to marry outside their faith's
loveroflife yeah agreed but you need to understand that we have Avery small population and that we need to look at strict measure to convert and increase our population
loveroflife yes.This is what happens when you are sold half truths.We have been sold wrong notions about Sikhi.Look up basics of sikhi and just google about nawab kapur singhHe was responsible for converting people all through India to sikhi.We are not some sweet shop where people can simply walk in and leave .The time has come that we need to start converting people if we are to survive
One of Sikhi principles is TOLERANCE. Learn it.
Sikhs don't convert people not part of our faith, if you think the panth won't survive then you seriously don't have faith in Waheguru
and in comments section u will find non sikhs commenting about sikhism and sikhs trying to tell them the reason have anice day random commnet viewer
You can’t agree to a marriage in a Sikh temple if you can’t understand it the ceremony is an agreement
Yeah hindu and Sikhs can marry it's just okay
Bit Strange they are first to play the minority card but never question their Fundamentalist
Sikhs never play there minority card. The most successful people in the world are Sikhs and they don't ask for handouts, in fact they are giving away more than taking
"Guruduwara sahib" .... this is not a temple....
They are not against inter-faith marriages.
All they are saying is that you can have your inter-faith marriages anywhere else except for the Gurudwara, simply because it is a trivialisation of the entire religious ceremony when one of the partners doesn't know or understand anything about Sikhism and its values.
Are muslim woman allowed to do that
Also all religions are paths to the divine however, Sikhism is the purest one
@Husain Ali Sufism and islam are tatti evil religions
maybe khalistani cult followers are against that.....
This is ridiculous- as stated in the video by the man-preventing interfaith weddings is contradicting ideology.
roma No, It's NOT. unless you're trying to say Sikhism is contradictory to Sikhism, Don't be a brainless sheep who believes everything people say, Use your brain and do your research. Because you're too lazy to use your brain I will make the questions and will give you the right answers. Can Sikhs marry non-Sikhs ? No. Rehat Maryada (Sikh Code of Conduct) Article XVIII Section K: "People professing faiths other than the Sikh faith cannot be joined in wedlock by the Anand Karaj ceremony." You're welcome.
@loveroflife it is said by Guru Gobind Singh ji.
Leave a cult that divides. Cancel religion. Anytime someone tells you about their history etc. Ask for the sources. Wouldn’t find any
Al jazeera shows sikhs for the 1st time but try to show them in a bad light! A Very good attempt al Jazeera! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤬🤬🤬🤬

Whats Nav doing on the thumbnail 😂😂😂
Sikh gurdwaras often stress it's meant to be a home to volunteer for EVERYBODY (poor, castes, religions). Majority of the gurdwaras in the West are run by families or men that usually fight over committee position. I never heard of any of them fighting about something like this (it doesn't relate to them and ruining their wedding). They're definitely not allowed to be refused to enter or accepted LOL. This is one temple in the U.K. (where they do everything gay). Majority of Sikhs are the opposite of this. It's just an ARGUMENT (protest or not, FYI because the main leaders were allowing the ceremony). Majority of the weddings among Sikhs must be fake too because most are not baptized. At least they don't expect others to become Sikh. Why I don't trust Al-Jazeera.
Mixed marriages are Fine nothing wrong with that and they are also living in England if they don't like it .. They can go back to India and do what ever they like but as long as they live in United Kingdom they have to live by our Rules End off.
Daniel Schwartz what you on about our rules you nonsensical deluded clown . I'm third generation almost all my fellow brothers in the UK are real white brits. What you don't no is we've had Sikh regiments in the British army from the 18th century. I've showed your demented comment 2 my white real brits they think your a silly sausage. Fix up
Ur rules don't apply within the Sikh Faith. British ruled India for 200+yrs. They didn't live by Indian rules so think again matey.
I have nothing against religious people but come one gate crashing a wedding is out of order...like cmon on man
in the gurudwara which belongs to the Sikh community but can be visited by non Sikhs it can if something wrong is happening it can be stopped
So sad. Sikhs need to modernise
they are misinformed.sikhi is so cool and open
Sikh’s can get married to a non Sikh but not in the gurudwara unless the person start following the teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Jii.

this makes no sense for the entire point of Sikh is for this.... Sikh are the most tolerant.
The person who’s the secretary saying we’re contradicting is completely wrong and not even practicing sikhi- You have to believe in the guru to get an ANNAD KARAAJ- Not just be a person- it is a wedding for a Sikh not a non Sikh - if you want a non Sikh wedding go elsewhere
Its nothing but six nutcases - we have already put them in their places.
i dont understand though, i have seen sikh (men and women) marrying hindu punjabis in gudwaras for 45 years of my life anyway. (i live in west london between southall - hounslow)
Sikh Khalsa - Your totally wrong - people like you give Sikhi a bad name -
"The Gurus ceremony, where vows should be taken by only two Sikhs who accept - " THIS IS WRONG !
Those who wish to visit and pay respect to Siri Guru Granth Sahib are allowed by any faith, any time and those wishing to take their marriage Vows in front of the Siri Guru Granth Sahib are allowed and should not have to fear any person or institution.
These self-styled goons should be dealt with a firm hand by the Majority of Sikh community. I am proud Sikh and hate seeing these type of morons ,imposing their style of inward thinking on the Sikh community in the UK.
Can I just add all other religions don't allow mixed marriages either not just Sikhs. For the guy speaking at 1.20 we don't believe all other religions are a path to the same destination otherwise Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji wouldn't have created Sikhism. WJKK WJKF
Amar Singh Now you are talking like Zakir Naik. How about asking Sikhs with surnames to get rid of them?
should b opened to any faith, they cannot stop anyone from getting married by law dont have to follow there ground rules.. temples r welcomed to everyone
Shows how much u know.
This news report thing is all wrong. There is a difference between marrying and following the words of the GURU than just sitting there pointlessly not understanding what you are agreeing to. SMH
amazing how much time can be wasted with religions
If it doesn't re-link you (religio) with your loving humanity and cultivate a peaceful, sharing environment, then it's a cult. 'Love thy neighbor' is a religious idea. 'Kill the infidel' is a cult idea. There is a difference, but don't tell a cult member that because smart can see stupid, but stupid can't see smart. Islam is a murder/suicide cult and the people practicing it admit it openly, and they're operating on the assumption that others are even dumber than they are. I look around and I can't say they're entirely wrong about that, with everyone telling themselves islam is peaceful and our governments arming them to the teeth. Trump's inauguration won't happen a minute too soon.
Bikewithlove well said! Agree with you 100%
you can agree with it 1000 % as you wish? my simple question is? why are the 1.5 BILLION muslims not killing inocent women children? me for instance? my friends family in the mosque? we are not the treu folowers of islam the 1.5 BILLION muslims? but the 100.000 facist ISIS killers? is that fair or logical? do you agree with that asumption? am I not an folower of islam?
Yeah hypocritical by an Atheist troll talking about religion 24/7 that DOESN'T EVEN BELIEVE IN GOD. That's just stupid. You don't know all religions.
Is it just me or does AL Jazeera only publish stuff that makes other religions look bad? Plus this definitely isn't the whole story other news networks have covered this much more in depth.
Good. Inko bhi phir musalmano ki tarah treatment milega🤣🤣
when i was a kid in school I remember white people parents used to tell them they can marry a person who has black hair or color, white people hated people that were not white. she said this and her father would hate her also. So full of hatred heh?
The issue is with the sikh religious marriage ceremony which can only be for Sikhs. other forms of prayer are offered. why should non-sikh take Vow to only follow Sikhism. become a Sikh first or have ceremony of your own religion
sabaa singh chhina surely taking that vow would make them a defacto Sikh? who gets to judge who is and isn't Sikh? lots of Sikhs make 'non Sikh' choices and lots of non Sikhs live 'Sikh' lifestyles...
Cam Google a Sikh doesn't have to be perfect, no one is perfect except God. but a Sikh does have to believe in the ten Gurus, accept Guru Granth Sahib Ji as their living Guru, believe in the spiritual power granted by Amrit baptism ceremony, and denounce profession to all other religions. If bride and groom accepts this, then there is no issue with the sacred Anand Karaj ceremony. if they are not able to do this, then they can have an Ardaas Prayer for their marriage instead.
there is already criteria for a sikh
radicalized and extremists are found in every religion , also in Sikhism
MANDY SINGH yeah but this isn't radicalism this is fighting for what is wrong in Sikhism. UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE
Aljazeera . You should be thorough in your research and the title is MISLEADING .The information you give in this video is limited to your own opinions and doesnt tell the full story .
Sikh have no issue with people of different backgrounds all are welcome to the Gurdwara .
But when it comes to religeous ceremonies like weddings, death , birth, baptism there are guidlines that must be followed to whomever that wishes to participate in it within the Gurdwara .
We are againts those who chose to disrespect the ceremonies . Simple as that .
So report on those who direspect the faith . Not your opinions
Your faith is a joke anyway. That’s why nobody knows about your religion. A Sikh guy wants to marry a Christian women and it is aljeezrah’s fault?
Look no matter what background, you come from, you should be Abel to marry in gurdwara, and if not then can all the Sikhs stop giving them self's English names, like bill, Gary, tom,etc etc.get real.
Ok Pammi lolol irony
Funny how the gatekeepers of religion are always self-appointed. I guess according to their thinking the Guru's teaching that anyone can be a Sikh, i.e. it's a mindset, does not exist.
Do christians like to sikhs
Only if you believe in the guru can you get married in the gurudwara- you can get married outside but not inside unless you believe
Contradiction arises when we think we have some power and wise enough to distinguish ourselves... dont do all this... you are no one to stop the doings of that Akaal purakh... who judges that we are sikh or not... that a person with a beard and turban is a sikh???... and others are not... till the time a person doesn't implement guru's teachings...and we are not the ones who CAN says that I AM A SIKH AND HE IS NOT... don't create walls that our guru's destroyed...

Having lived in Britain for nearly a decade and coming to Britain from India, I have found British Sikhs to be biggest bigots. 7 Gurdwaras in Southall- separate for Ramgarhias, Ravidasias. When the sewadars see a big turban, in a langar hall, will ask in taunt how many parshadas but if a guy has a "samosa" turban he is treated with more respect. In Havelock road gurdwara, if you want to have a library membership, I was asked, If I am married...Irrelevant questions by ignorant sewadars who make their own rules.
You mean British Panjabis. You cant be a Sikh if you dont follow the Gurus teachings. This is panjabi clique behavoir, happens with hindu panjabis as well.
@@bigbadbirmz53 They're sikh
this is wrong .everyone has the right to marry the person of their choice .
gary mann yes everyone has the right to marry WHO they want, but noone has the right to marry WHERE they want. if u wanna get married in US, u need the proper documents n be US citizen, same for any nation. if u want to get married in mosque or catholic church, u have to be of that religion follow those guidelines
interfaith marriages have not been taking place for centuries what a load of innacurate bollocks...if you wanna get involved in our affairs at least get your facts right Al jazeera
Firstly i would like to say that every human is as precious and is a part of Waheguru... For people who want to marry someone outside their race... By all means if that makes you happy... I'll even vouch for u... But when it comes to Anand Karaj, it's not a ritual, it's not a custom, it's not just any ceremony.... It has religious values attached to it (not going to go into the depths of explaining Gurbani here)... So for someone who is not a Sikh and who does not follow the teaching of Sikhism, whats the purpose of even doing the Anand Karaj other than it being just another function to get family and friends to attend.... Get registered in the court of law and throw an awesome party for family and friends... My question is why do something that you don't even believe in?
Sikhs are kind people
Sikhism is a contradiction of Sikhism..
Sikhism saw divine everywhere without form direction and formalness, critisized others for rigidity while becoming a formal rigid group itself
Guru Nanak says in Japji Sahib: “Accept all humans as your equals, and let them be your only sect” (Japji 28). ... Therefore, Sikhs believe that all human beings are equal. im sure other people believe this two even f they are not sikhs
Yes and Guru Gobind Singh Said to marry your daughters into a Sikh household.
I'm a Sikh and I think this is ridiculous and intolerant
Arun Bains lol you are a fake sikh

Hindu -Sikh ko Divide kr unn mein Nafraat felane k liye PROPAGANDA lagta hai...
😲esse nhi ho Sakta...agar esa hai toh Buht galt hai...😔😔
I 'm👳 Sikh... but mere more than half releatives Hindu hai...Even my Mom is from hindu family... 😟😤😞
bro it's AL JAZEERA , they are trying to divide SIKHS and HINDUS . we both share centuries old beautifull bond . they can't break it. Even panch pyaare were also hindus before amrit paan. Banda singh bahadur was also madho das ( Hindu Sanyasi ) before he met GURU GOVIND singh ji . we are undivideble .
Supremacy Chanel 🤔
Very racist
Racism doesn't come into it. It's about practicing your faith. Anand Karaj should be between 2 Sikhs. Do your research.
I had a Sikh girlfriend and she ended up marrying a atheist. Can Sikhs marry atheists?
That is wrong unless the atheist converted to Sikh
There is no other faith that has promoted onesess as much as the Sikh faith.Its not being against the wedding but against having it into he Gurudwara
The gurdwara welcomes anyone from any religion. How dare they try to use Sikhi as an excuse to divide humanity!? These people are not true Sikhs.
says the khalistani from canada
@@nishhnishh1088 actually there are 2 things wrong in that 1 sentence there mate. Clearly not a smart one are you?
@@jinakaur you're one of them liberal sikhs who thinks its okay to marry and convert out of sikhism to islam. And then still b classed as a proper sikh 🤔😬🤢
@@KJ-sy7jy and you must one of those who are very unhappy in their lives.
