There are various schools of thought as far as the answer to this question is concerned. According to the most liberal school of thought, a Sikh boy or a girl can marry a member of the opposite sex belonging to any faith/religion.

According to an extremist school of thought, a Sikh boy or a girl must marry a member of the opposite sex belonging to the same faith/religion.

Some Sikhs are also so strict that they say a Sikh boy or girl must marry some one of the opposite sex belonging to the same faith/religion and caste. Although other Sikhs don't believe in caste.

The Sikh Rehet Maryada (Code of Conduct) clearly states that a Sikh should only marry a Sikh. Guru Nanak Dev Ji (the founding Guru of the Sikh religion) says that a married couple should be one soul in two bodies. This is only possible if both souls share the same path to God.

If the Sikh is non-religious, I suppose they can marry whoever they want. But if the Sikh in question follows their faith, they must marry a Sikh.

However, there's nothing to prevent the other person from converting. Conversion is easy and accepted in the Sikh community.
Yes, Sikhs can marry non Sikhs until the spouse from other religion respects Sikhism. To marry a Sikh the other person doesn't have to convert to Sikhism. Sikhism respects other religions and don't force anyone to convert. That's the beauty of this religion

Islam prohibits the marriage of a Muslim to a person who is not a Jew, Christian or Muslim. Accordingly, not allowed per Islam religion for a Muslim to marry a Sikh girl unless she converts to Islam. It is allowed of course to marry an Indian girl if she is Muslim, Christian, or Jewish.

Some may say that love is over all barriers so no harm for them to marry. To those I say that It is true that love is over all barriers except in what is against God commands per Quran and per prophet Muhammad (PBUH) teachings. One has the full choice to do what he/she wants but on the other hand he/she is responsible of his/her doings in front of God (Allah) in the Day of Judgment when he/she stands in front of Allah the Judge.

1.Congratulations. It's not up to us, it's up to the church that you ask to get married in. But seriously, as Sikhs, have either of you considered marrying in Gurdwara? 2.The Church may allow you both to marry there. But if you are a Sikh, you have to get married according to the Sikh code of marriage which is called "Anand Karaj" in a Gurdwara, in the prescence of Guru Granth Sahib.

A Sikh's daughter must be married to a Sikh. c. A Sikh's marriage should be solemnized by Anand marriage rites. d. Child marriage is taboo for Sikhs. e.
