I’ve never seen my parents or anyone in their age use this word to refer to a divorced woman

Unfortunately that word is only reserved for female. If you call a guy garoob they will laugh at you and will know that your Soomaali is tacbaan, khalaas, finished.

I don’t think it’s a big deal if a woman was called that either but yeah it’s odd how I never heard of it prior to social media.. I wonder if it was commonly used before 91

It is very old Somali word to describe the status of a female:

Gabar = Unmarried female
Garoob = Devorcee
Marwo/ Xaas = married
