Sikh Wisdom Latest Questions

According to guru granth sahib husband is soul and wife is body. When soul leave body that means that body doesn’t have value. That means when a husband give divorce to his wife that means those wife doesn’t have value. Now I understand that why sikh people don’t like divorced or widow women Why sikh hates divorced and window women or not want to marry a divorced or widow women. "Sikh man don't want to marry divorced women" BBC says. Hinduism also not allows widow marriage. Widow marriage called in Bengali "Bidhoba bie kalangka". I think this is why Hindus and Sikhs treat widows and divorced women so inhumanely. Can’t treat them well. Religion is responsible for this. According to Hindu scriptures, widows do not eat good food, eat salt and rice and always wear white clothes. Sikhism is no exception. Break my logic by authentic reference if you can.
