Hindu Marriage:
Wedding couple take 7 Feras around the pure Agni Kund.
During all the 7 Feras, pundit ji (priest) will recite a shalok, which is like a promise from bride to groom or groom to bride.
Hindu wedding always take place during the lagan period. Lagan period is calculated by the pundit ji.
In Hindu wedding, two couple's horoscope is matched. There are supposed to be 36 guun's and if all 36 match that is considered to be perfect match. Usually more than 20-22 is considered to be goof enuff.



Sikh Marriage:
Wedding couple takes 4 Lavan around the Shri Guru Granth Sahib. These Lavan were written by 4th Guru RamDass Ji.
Each time wedding couple take one round of Guru Granth Sahib ji, the Bhai Sahib will recite one lava. Each lavan is praising the Lord and basically asks couple to be in love with that universal Lord and live life according to te the Sikhi Maryada. (I am not exactly sure about the wording and meaning of all the 4 Lavan).

There is no lagan or muhurat time. Anyday in the Presence of SGGS is fine. No horoscope matching is done for the couple. But some so called Sikhs do match Horoscopes and also takes lagan/muhurat time :)
Sikh marriage is also called as Anand Karaj.

I respect all the faiths. Its just for information. It can be wrong, you can correct it.

Thanks :) now I know the difference between a sikh and hindu marriage.
Now back to the original question, why are we demanding a separate marriage act for Sikhs ?

They are two different marriages performed differently by two different religious groups.

It is like Hindu and Muslims are different religions, different marraige act. On the same lines, if that thing is done for two religions, do it for 3rd also.

Hindu Marriage act applies to hindus, sikhs, jains, budhs, parsis and tens of smaller hindu sects, all having different marriage rituals.
the same act covers them all becuase exect rituals basic vlaues and rules are same for them all.

unless sikhs are demanding polygamy or something, I guess the problem they have is with the name only.

Yes, the problem is with the name.

Think if it would have been Sikh Marriage Act and Hindus/Buddhist/Bahai's getting marriage certificate of married under Sikh Marriage Act. It will not be fair to them.

Either change the name or add 5-7 more marriage act pages for all the religions being practised in India.

Personally, it is not a big thing for me because once I will bow in front of SGGS then I don't care what ppl or documents say. My marriage will be accepted by SGGS.
Once my work is done, I can simply shred those docs.

If somethings can be improved, we should do that.

@ guri, sikhs are not demanding a separate marriage act because we have different rituals.jains, budh,parsi sabh de rituals alag ne.. hor ta koi kuch nahi keh reha.
problem sirf naam di hai.

IMO this is small thinking, whats next ?

hindustan > sikhstan
chandigarh > kaurgarh
garhshankar > garhsingh
pathankot > nihangkot

i dont think its just a naming problem. and i agree jains, parsis, sindhis , everyone has their own rituals. I think we are confusing cultural rituals with religious rituals. And its not even about rituals maybe. I mean jains are still considered Hindus worldwide, But Is Sikhism not a separate religion by itself? It is statistitcally recognized as the fifth largest religion in the world by itself, Not as a sect under hinduism. So if all hindus are married under Hindu act, all muslims under muslim act, then why not?

I think for most people it dont matter, as long as souls are married who cares abt what act on a philosophical note, but as far as it is claimed for sikhs to get their due respect i think thats the problem. I am personally not for it. Meri ghare vi agrument ho jandi hai ki marriage act mang ke, nangiya talwara dikha ke if we think we are gonna gain what we want, then its beyond possible. Je sikh apni will power strong kar lain, duniya de har kone ch u can find sikhs from kenya to amreeka, i mean je sikh parh likh ke apne he guru granth sahib nu follow karke chunge karm karke uche auhdeya te pahunchde han duniya ch ta pehchaan aape ban jau. Ajj ikk PM baneya, ghatto ghatt duniya nu eh ta pata chal gaya ki turbaned lok sikh han. I agree govt ch sikhs nu shayad ainiya seats na milan b/c of political games, but cant we prove ourselves in private sector. prob eh hai ki sadi apni paneeri di will power strong hai nahi, jehra jidhar nu piche paunda lagg jande, fashion, nashe haavi ho jande aa. I dont think ajj di duniya ch koi rokda hai if u r smart to prove urself, Bill Gates will hire you too and respect and recognize your identity if u have what it takes.

Baaki ho sakda main galt vi hova, again my own views.
