And you can't marry an intiated devotee if you yourself aren't initiated, you'd have to marry a devotee who hasn't been initiated.

Do you have to be initiated in ISKCON specifically or initiated in any lineage?

They keep their devotees well proctected from the external world.

So many rules! I never knew how many rules there were for ISKCON members.
I'm guessing that marriage between a non-Gaudiya and an ISKCONi would be totally out of the question?
