Recent Decree on Marriage at Sikh Church

E-mail Print

In recent years, the incidence of interfaith marriages (i.e. Sikh and non-Sikh) has been increasing in Gurdwaras across the world. In the United
Kingdom, there has been an uproar over such marriages in recent years since it is against Sikh teachings and many have felt led to poor behaviour within the church.

As the situation was set to explode, the Akal Takhat - the Supreme authority of the Sikhs - has issued a Hukumnama (decree) regarding this matter on the 16-8-2007. The original letter can be seen here: http://www.sna.org.uk/cms/hukumnama/  along with a translation.
