Is it allowed to stay unmarried?

[Guest Convertgirl]

I believe in sikhism and taking steps towards amrit, but being from a non sikh background my family seems to have issue with it, their argument is if I take amrit and my appearance changes I will not be accepted in their community (hindu) and creates obstacle for marriage.. So they say that you can believe but don't anything to anyone that you are a sikh and get married and live a normal life. So I am curious to know is it allowed to stay unmarried ?

Who you marry is in your karma, regardless of your religious or social background. Many white people have come into Sikhi in recent years and they seem to be able to find a spouse, so why not you?? 

You'll be okay, don't worry about it at all. They just don't want you to change and are creating arguments to appeal to your mind so you don't change. Think of this as your test on this dharmic path

Why couldn't you take amrit and have an anand karaj with another amritdhari? Why are your parents so against you becoming an amritdhari?

What is a normal life?

I don't understand something.

A strict amrit-dhari like Nihang Singhs from Buddha Dal and Tarna Dal dress like ancient kshatriya and also their rehit is kshatriya.

Is your family really hindustani looking, or they do look more like FIRANGHI with haircut etc?

Tell your family you want to become kshatriya and therefore taking amrit. You should only take amrit from those who really understand kshatriya maryada, there are too many jathebandis, sects and SGPC who take amrit dharis away from kshatriya dharma!

it is possible, but wont you get lonely as you get older?  

maybe you could marry a Hindu guy who feels the same way as you, and you could take Amrit togther after marriage?
