Can a jain duggar marry another jain duggar but they have different baba ji whom they follow
Answer
Yes, generally a Jain Duggar can marry another Jain Duggar even if their families follow different Baba ji, as long as both families agree and the marriage is acceptable according to their family, community, and Jain values.
In Jain Dharma, marriage is mainly guided by:
- Shared commitment to Jain values
- Good character and compatibility
- Family consent and community customs
- Respect for religious practices
Following a different Baba ji does not automatically make marriage prohibited.
Explanation
In Jain society, different families may have devotion toward different monks, gurus, saints, or Baba ji. This can happen due to family tradition, region, sect, or personal faith.
If both are Jain and both respect Jain Dharma, then difference in the Baba ji they follow is usually not a religious barrier to marriage.
However, families should discuss practical matters clearly, such as:
- Which religious practices will be followed after marriage
- Whether there are differences in sect, rituals, or family customs
- Whether both sides will respect each other’s guru tradition
- How future children will be raised in Jain values
Spiritual Understanding
Jain Dharma teaches respect, non-attachment, humility, and harmony. A guru or saint is followed to grow spiritually, not to create division or conflict.
If both partners respect each other’s faith and do not criticize each other’s Baba ji or tradition, then such a marriage can remain spiritually healthy.
Takeaway
Different Baba ji alone is not a reason to reject the marriage. The important things are mutual respect, Jain values, family understanding, and peaceful acceptance of each other’s religious traditions.
