The Siri Guru Granth Sahib says in Guru Nanak's Bani..."Bhand jamee-ai, Bhand nimee-ai, bhnad manganaa viaho........."(Asa Diwar shabd).


Within a woman man is concieved, within a woman, man is born.
With a woman, he is engaged and married.
With a woman, man enjoys friendship.'
Through woman the generations of life continue.
When a man's wife dies, he seeks out another.
To a woman, man is bound.
Why call her bad who gives birth to kings?.
From a woman, a woman is born, without woman, there would be no one.....

In our Khalsa way of life it is encouraged for women, especially with children to be remarried when they loose their husband.
