Sikh Marriage Traditions

I was always fascinated by Sikh marriage traditions, and wondered how many marriages are allowed in a traditional Sikh wedding. Turns out, there is quite a bit of variation among Sikhs, but generally, a Sikh wedding is supposed to include only one marriage.

According to Sikh beliefs, a Sikh wedding is meant to be a sacred and joyous occasion. One of the main goals of a Sikh wedding is to strengthen the relationship between the bride and groom. In order to maintain this strong bond, Sikh weddings typically only include one marriage.

If you are interested in having a Sikh wedding, it is important to understand the traditions involved. You will need to speak to a Sikh couple who have already had a traditional Sikh wedding to get a better idea of what is required. There are a few things that are always included in a Sikh wedding, such as a reception, a marriage ceremony, and a darbar (ceremony). However, there is a lot of flexibility given to couples when it comes to the details of their wedding.

Polygamy in Sikhism

There is no set number of marriages allowed in Sikhism, though most followers believe that monogamy is the ideal. Polygamy, or having more than one spouse, is allowed in certain circumstances, such as when one spouse is unable to provide proper care for a family due to illness or other circumstances. Sikhism teaches that each person has a unique role to play in the world and should not be restricted by conventional norms.

Sikhism & Monogamy

There are three types of Sikh marriages:
Akal marriage is a marriage between two Sikhs of the same age who have read and agreed to the Guru Granth Sahib.
This is the most common type of Sikh marriage.
Ankhi marriage is a marriage between two Sikhs who have not read and agreed to the Guru Granth Sahib.
This type of marriage is only allowed between Sikhs who have been raised and educated in the same gurdwara.
Jath marriage is a marriage between two Sikhs of any age who have not read and agreed to the Guru Granth Sahib.
This type of marriage is only allowed between Sikhs who have been raised and educated in different gurdwaras.

Sikhism & Polygamy

There are three types of marriage in Sikhism:

1. One man, one woman
2. One woman, many men
3. Many men, one woman

   Polygamy is allowed in Sikhism, but it is not common. There are approximately 3,000 to 5,000 polygamous marriages in the world, most of them in India.

Conclusion: Allowed Marriages

There are three types of marriages:
1) Arranged marriage – where both families decide who the bride and groom will be.
2) Love marriage – where the couple fall in love and choose each other themselves.
3) Polygamy – where a man can have more than one wife.

Sikhism believes in an equal relationship between men and women and that both should have an equal say in choosing a spouse. There is no set number of marriages that a Sikh can have – as long as they are happy and fulfil each other’s needs, they are permitted to marry multiple times.
