According to Guru Granth Sahib, Lavaan of both husband and wife are with Akal Purkh. There is no restriction according to Gurmat, but both should believe and follow the teachings of Guru Granth Sahib. Just carrying out the ritual will not serve any purpose for anyone. In such a case one can get the certificate of marriage from the Gurdwara Management or Government, but not from the Guru.
Lavaan are for the union of soul with the Akal Purkh. Both male and female have to be committed to the teachings of Gurbani
ਹਰਿ ਪਹਿਲੜੀ ਲਾਵ ਪਰਵਿਰਤੀ ਕਰਮ ਦ੍ਰਿੜਾਇਆ ਬਲਿ ਰਾਮ ਜੀਉ ॥ – 773
Firmness with the Shabad are specifically required.
The relation of Affection love has to be generated by praises of Akal Purkh and acquiring His qualities.
ਨਿਰਮਲੁ ਭਉ ਪਾਇਆ ਹਰਿ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਇਆ ਹਰਿ ਵੇਖੈ ਰਾਮੁ ਹਦੂਰੇ ॥ – 774
Mind should be filled with divine love and desire to meet Akal Purkh
ਜਨੁ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਬੋਲੇ ਤੀਜੀ ਲਾਵੈ ਹਰਿ ਉਪਜੈ ਮਨਿ ਬੈਰਾਗੁ ਜੀਉ ॥੩॥- 774
Constant attachment with Akal Purkh is required all the time through the Shabad Guru
ਹਰਿ ਮੀਠਾ ਲਾਇਆ ਮੇਰੇ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਭਾਇਆ ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਹਰਿ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਈ ॥ 774
Then only one can be one with the Akal Purkh.
ਜਨੁ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਬੋਲੇ ਚਉਥੀ ਲਾਵੈ ਹਰਿ ਪਾਇਆ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਅਵਿਨਾਸੀ ॥੪॥੨॥- 774
Once both husband and wife are one with Akal Purkh with the help of Gurbani. They will have same opinion with the help of Gurbani. Then they will be able to develop a successful family system.
ਏਕ ਜੋਤਿ ਦੁਇ ਮੂਰਤੀ ਧਨ ਪਿਰੁ ਕਹੀਐ ਸੋਇ ॥੩॥ – 788
Gurbani teaches us that we must identify and analyse in detail before taking any action or step in our life.
Firstly one must himself know about Gurbani written in Guru Granth Sahib. This will help you to know about the realities of life.
Sikhism is not religion to carry out some formalities. But a way of life to become Sachyaar by understanding and following the Hukam of Akal Purkh. So you must study, understand and analyse Gurbani written in Guru Granth Sahib.
This will help you to develop your will power and ability to take next step in your life.
Gurbani does not force someone to convert or follow. Our duty is to convey the fact of life to other person as described in Guru Granth Sahib. Rest he/she has to decide accordingly.
