Sikh religion also stresses family values and faithfulness to one s spouse. Sikh gurus declared that marriage is an equal partnership of love and sharing between husband and wife. To raise status of women, Sikh Gurus have used feminine symbols extensively in their writings. Among the other measures taken to enhance the status of women, Guru Amar Das trained and appointed a large number of women as missionaries incharge of Manjis who had complete religious jurisdiction. Women were also cast into the role of saints and soldiers by baptizing them.
Great emphasis is placed on the education of women.
Since they are considered to be the equal partners, they can lead prayers and perform all religious ceremonies and their education is considered an asset for them. Widow remarriage is allowed in Sikh religion. Earlier it was considered only as a right of men. Ethics is the science of values in human conduct. Many times these values are violated and we lose the ultimate purpose of life, that is, to become one with the God itself.
