Are divorced Sikh women a taboo?

Woman's Hour

Available for over a year

The average wedding in the UK now costs £30,355 and when the celebration lasts several days and includes the wider community as well as family and friends it can cost much more. Minreet Kaur and Jasprit Panesar both in their 30’s had lavish Sikh weddings but ended up getting divorced within twelve months. They join Jane to talk about why having a failed marriage behind them creates difficulties within their community and amongst their friends.
