Well, OK, but you have to admit it is merely a glancing mention by Guru Sahib. And it's only a mention of dishonoring of women, not really of ongoing sex slavery. And also not of "normal" slavery of men.
Now, I"m not saying slavery is OK because Gurbani doesn't mention it. To the contrary.
But, it's a blow to those Sikhs who naively say that they will only follow Guru Granth Sahib and nothing else. The fact is there is a whole host of stuff we are to do and not do which is not really explicitly mentioned in Guru Granth Sahib.

you mean to say that there is no word for divorce in Sikhi or in Punjabi language ? Just curious to know how divorce is done in Sikhism ? or marriage is a life long thing just like Catholics ?

but if you follow the rehit of not hurting another's heart as too are God's light then it is near impossible to abuse, misuse or imprison as a slave another person. you cannot honour the godhead in someone and similtaneously treat them less than an animal.

Right, people use the word "talaak".
Basically, in Islam, marriage is a wordly contract. In Sikhism, as in Christianity, marriage is seen as holy. Of course, people do what they want to. We're talking about the religion.

What's your solution to SubUrban Shastar owners or Urban people?

What does Sikhi say on slavery ?
Yeah, that's fine. But it's still extensions and interpretations of Gurbani. It's not explicit like he was asking.
And that's a refutation of Sikhs who claim to "only follow Guru Granth Sahib".

Marriage is a dedication of oneself to Akal Purakh in Sikhi not owning another human or dedicating oneself to another. Both partners agree top support each other in this life mission to get union with Akal Purakh that's it. You can't divorce in sikhi because marriage is on a different premise to other faith marriages

1. Go to a target range (which are, of course, located in rural areas) to have fun shooting.
2. Go hunting (of course, in a rural area, there's no wildlife in suburbs or cities)
3. Buy a farm/ranch.
Otherwise, keep a weapon of some sort for home defense.

Thanks for clarifying

Well, like I said, the religion doesn't allow it, but people do what they want. So, yeah, someone gets mad at their husband/wife, and goes away. And then files for divorce in the government court. If you believe in the "Sikh panchayat" and actually go to them, they'll just tell you to reconcile, and possibly also counsel the party who is being unreasonable.

How to Report a planned Sham Marriage
Well of course you should put a stop to that. We should never tolerate anyone lying to the face of our eternal Guru ji.
But....I do think you should in future understand the meanings of words before you place them in thread titles. In normal contexts, the term 'sham marriage' has an entirely different meaning to what you are talking about.

bhforce jio_/\_,
What about the GOOD LAW IN UK THAT RESPECTS SIKHS' RELIGIOUS RIGHTS MORE, BY ALLOWING KIRPAN ji?
The UK law on no freedom of speech, hatred spreading...is what PROTECTS SIKHS vs the number killed in usa since 911.
There are MANY GURMUKHS IN UK AND CANADA, vs USA, due to UK and Canada religious freedom and honor, vs USA pressure to live as majority...thus, i assume usa sikhs put bhagti on lowest of to do in their lives, that my local Gurduara gyani works outside Gurduara, kirpan not visible on him, even on Gurduara Sunday, and family, mostly, do not attend Gurduara?_/\_

usa is pro gun ownership, pro freedom of speech, pro immoral living...but anti kirpan(symbol of righteous living reminder), think about it...if you think you are really free in this free jesu is rab, thus sikh governor in south carolina denounce Sikhi for jesu spouse, because gorey pressured her publicly to declare jesu her rab? And i am constantly being monitored being only dastaar Sikh female, trying my best to keep up with kanio tiki _/\_

Gorakh, Brahma, Mother Parbhati........according To Guru Nanak They Are Gurus
yes my daughter is Isher kaur but she is named so because she is Isher di ansh , Akal purakh's Kaur nothing more or less .
Mahakaal is that most 'superior' being who brings end to the creation , but that is not true of Shiva as AKal Purakh is the true Mahakaal as he can put an end to Shiva , Shivpuri, Indrapuri, Brahmlok etc all of maya etc that is the nishaani Kaal of 'Mahakaal' that is who a sikh serves and remembers
