How would you react if your son/daughter married a non-Somali?

[Nabeel786]

I will kick his/her skinny ass and delete as a son/daughter anymore.

I don't want half anything grandkids right now but if they fall in love and the person they fall for is a good person, I'll raise them to be proper Somali regardless. It's not about looks but about feeling secure in your identity. I would want my grandkids to speak af Somali and have close bonds with my family around the world.

 

[Bielsa]

As long as they're not Arab or Pakistani. I'd probably go mental if they decided to marry an Arab or Pakistani. I would feel I have failed them as a father.

 

[Tokio]

umm

I would raise in a way that they won't even think about marrying ajanabis or at least try to. but if worst comes to worst and they go for ajanabis I would make a deal with them depending if it's my daughter or son. for example if it's my son, I would offer to pay let's say 50% of his wedding costs if he changes his mind and decides to go for a somali woman instead.

 

[Jubba_Man]

Its okay as long they are Muslim and not a Bantu

waad is caajibisay. Bantus do not want anything to do with your long teethed, alien-looking women. The only men who do are new-world blacks who love everything but their own women. Funnily enough, they seem to be having their way with your women in the diaspora.

 

[Bahal]

I would disown him/her

 

[ItzDoctorZ]

The persons culture and religion doesn't matter to me. Just the personality and attitude

 

[SomaliSteel]

If it was a daughter i would be against, and a son can take a few wives so one or more of them can be non-somali if he wants. Being muslim is mandatory for both though

The first person in my extended family to marry an non-somali was a second cousin of mine. I remember going to the wedding as a kid. He was Palestinian student like her, they met in college. His parents flipped out when they heard he was with a somali girl and forbid the relationship. They also cut him off financially. Eventually he agreed to their demands and left his wife with two young children and dipped back to Egypt[ from Canada]. Now she is a single mother with two kids not even recognized in the clan system. Fucked up situation, even if a somali man leaves you high and dry your kids still have a place in somali society no matter what.

Palestinians have a reputation for being extremely racist. They eat a sweet called ' head' and really hate Africans in particular.

Arabs and South Asians are a class of delusion and backwardness unknown to other humans.

Having said that. Why marry non Somalis? The type who do usually have bad ideas about their own race and its funny how these other races shit on them and their kids the vast majority of the time.

I have people in my family happily married to non somalis, they're not self haters in the slightest but I see what you mean.

It's not exactly ideal and it wouldn't be my first choice.

 

[Shamis]

Not always, sorry I didn't mean it like that!

Lol no worries abaayo, these family members live in very isolated places with no somalis around and are quite a bit older. I think we're talking about two different demographics anyway.

 

[canjeeroiyoshah]

I would prefer Somali but it doesn't matter as long as they're Muslim.

@Shamis have you told you're family that you're an atheist? Just curious.

 

[Baraf]

@Amira-chan , You've really got a thing for Bantus? You've got a serious fetish, not a day goes by without me seeing a comment on 'Bantus' from you ? Its a bit annoying and pathetic. Did a Bantu steal your man? I think a Somali mixed with 'Bantu' would look more Somali than a Somali mixed with indhayar alien or pig skinned albino europeans if you going to be a racist, then hey. You've got to be as equally delusional

Iman is another example of a proud Somali woman who married a non Somali. I'm talking about those ignorant people who think ajanabi = new and better life.

There's no breaking a 35+ year marriage tokio. We would if we could.

 

[Southerner]

My brother is married to a non-Somali, its not that big of a deal. She converted to Islam, cooks Somali food and
speaks some Somali. My little niece though, sometimes I question if shes half Somali, I guess the Somali gene
is weak. During on my early days of Somali forums, I used to bash people who dated or married to non-Somali's
so this must be karma?

If the person does not go out of their way to find a non-Somali, then its all good in my book.
