The Sikh Rahit Maryada (alternate transliterations include Sikh Rahit Marayada and Sikh Reht Maryada) is a code of conduct for Sikhism. This document was preceded by the Gurdwaras Act of 1925, which laid down the definition of a Sikh. In 1915 and later in 1931, attempts were made to create a modern standard rehat ("code"). In 1950 the current Sikh Rehat Maryada was produced based upon the work of Sikh scholars, seeking to better standardise Sikh practices throughout the international community.
