My uncle is a muslim and he married a sikh girl.

My other uncle married a scottish girl.

If you notice the trend the muslim has always been male.

I think that the girls family may only allow it if he converted. And that they pretty easy going parents that dont really care that much what the neighbours are gonna say.

What info are you looking for?

Are you asking whether Islamically or through Sikhism would they sanction a marriage between these two faith practisers?

Are you asking what they should do? I ask because you worded it as an ''affair''.

If any of them is married, then thats a whole different ball game dude....

Muslims are permitted to marry people of The Book (Christians & Jews). I am not sure if it applies men only.

My best friend's Muslim and is married to a Sikh guy- they have been for 9 years and two gorgeous kids. It worked out great for them and No he didn't convert. I guess it depends on the family as individuals. Her family wanted her to be happy with the man she loves rather than be stuck ina loveless arranged marriage

Legally possible, at least it is in the UK

hey well in islam if da 2 were 2gt 2getha n ave kids we believe dat da kids r the religion of da father so therfore they wudnt b muslim dats y it doesnt mata wat religion woman a man marries

Saliha what?!...

why is there even a discussion about this?

who cares who comes from what background... United we stand and divided we fall...

I know several Muslim women in relationships with Sikh guys even married them. I guess times are changing and muslim women are becoming more assertive in who they want as their life partners and rejecting traditional cultural and religious barriers they have faced for many years.

I personally know of a pakistani girl who married her sikh boyfriend from slough and her parents eventually accepted the idea because they were educated, with good jobs and fairly westernised. I think it becomes a problem when you have narrow minded traditional muslim parents who have backward mentality of giving full freedom to their sons yet keeping their daughters locked up.

I beg to differ on that point Shazia786. I have traditional Muslim parents (as do majority of my Muslim mates) and though our parents are traditional, this doesn't mean they are regressive at all. To the contrary they are quite progressive when issues are explained in a mature and informative way, rather than knee jerk elopment and involving the law too early on...

Sometimes its the backward mentality of the rural region they may be from, and I can say this because I have seen backward regressive policies in Sikh and Hindu communities too through my work.

It's really sad, but so true; the good cases/stories rarely get publicised, but the bad ones always get the best press and intrigue.

Im all for Asian women becoming more assertive where cultural boundaries become limits to their happiness and in some cases, even their safety and well being. But it's about educating and positively challenging some of our elders to new concepts and ideas.

if u marry a muslim you have to convert to thier faith . Sikh and Hindu marriages are very common but a non-muslim marrying a muslim there are always tensons
