Marriages between Punjabi Muslims and Punjabi Sikhs in Punjabi diaspora

[Toramana]

How are these marriages common? I once lived with a Punjabi Muslim from Lahore and otherwise a staunch Pakistani nationalist, he told me such marriages are pretty common. Ironically, he admitted he would not hesitate marrying a Sikh girl.

i have seen couple of kashmiri girls married with sikh and hindo. i guess they culturally more closed to each others. sikh girls usually dont marry non-sikhs.

I cant imagine you living with a Pakistani Nationalist, how many scars did you give each other?

Mr Adam Alai Salam, are you still playing as a front-man for hvzSulatna posting his essays here? (just kidding).

The guy never knew I was a Pashtun nationalist.

yeah i couldnt live with a paki... and marriages between different cultures dont work out most of the time so its not even worth it... me personally i dont like when cultures mix,,, and religion is even worst... cuz then their kids are atheists

Pesho, it was about Punjabis intermarrying despite the difference of religion. But explain this Paki word ? Doe that also include any Pashtun from Pakistan?

[IamDZJ]

that requires for a beautiful mentality as well as lots of patience and understanding unless they do it because they don't care for their religions. just because you lack the understanding to love or respect someone who does not necessarily share your own religion doesn't mean you should discredit those who do.
what do you do with a husband or a wife who prays five times a day but treats you or your family like ****.

i can care less if they r praying 5 times a day... but let me ask u...
what are u gonna do when ur husband is not muslim... what religion are ur kids gonna be????

and by religion we r not allowed to marry some1 outside of our religion unless they convert... i feel u marrying someone who cares for u and ur fam but different cultures and religions dont work i see it alot here.. thats total bull **** to say u can be patient and understanding... it just dont work

Hahaha---Sikh marriages are colorful. I found the following on youtube. Don't know whether the girl is really Muslim or do Sikhs also have Muslim names.

I have never been to an Afghan marriage but wish to attend to see how is it similar to KP, FATA, Quetta etc. marriages. Marriages in KP happen to be simple and conservative without much brouhaha---

[Toramana]

Now this seems to be a Muslim Punjabi marriage---similarly, colorful.

whats kp?
umm here they are very Americanized white gown.. lots and lots of delish foood yum...

and a crazy freaking Cali singer that dances and sings at the same time haha
but the part of US we live in its very conservative so no one really likes to dance or do anything
but its very nice

i been to 3 weddings lol never to henna night or anything...

IF i was married to someone who didn't have the same religious beliefs as i do but he did love and respect me as much as i loved and respected him, i would raise my children to be aware of both of our religions and let them choose for themselves as eventually, they all do.
it's not guaranteed that religious parent's would raise religious children. there are lots of people in the world who were born to non muslim parent's who chose islam at some point anyways. besides, as i said, i value a non muslim with a good heart, mind and soul 100 times over a bad muslim with a dirty heart, mind and soul.

also, don't ask me for my opinion on things when you start your question with "i can care less..".
