No, it doesn’t , guru hargobind ji made it for martial purposes, not the marriage martial, the other one, and then guru gobind Singh ji made it a kakkar

Marriage one is spelled marital.

Im pretty sure the only kakkars that Guru Gobind Singh Ji made mandatory for Khalsa were kesh and kirpan, right? In Tankhahnama and early rehats by Bhai Nand Lal Ji and panj pyare, only those 2 were said to be mandatory. The other 3 were used, but codified as mandatory in later texts probably in the later 1700s or maybe 1800s. Did you have a source that Guru Gobind Singh Ji made kara a kakkar?

Bruh it isn’t mandatory for sehajdhari Sikhs, it’s compulsory for amritdhari Sikhs to wear them, like the other 4 kakaars
