The price was 10k. Plus its dhaqan somali that us men dont usually pay the mehr unless we are divorcing or getting married again. Like 90% of somali men dont pay it .
In the north we pay what is called Yarada to the girls father
Yh, but they all forgive it before either dies. My wife forgave it after 2 years.omg this is actually true. I had a convo with my mom and she told me she has never been given her meher neither have her friends or her sisters. She said Somali men don't pay it. I was shocked. Did you know if the man dies, that money is a debt that he owes. Imagine dying with outstanding debt
Istubidh!
Haye, warya maxa uu dhan leedhayIstubidh!
I have to say, it's very strange. Why have a mehr if it will be forgiven? It doesn't sit right with me that women are naming amounts knowing that they'll forgive it. Does the religion allow this? Are they culturally forced to forgive it? Will their husband kick off if she demands what's rightfully hers?Yh, but they all forgive it before either dies. My wife forgave it after 2 years.
No the religion allows her to forgive it. If she asks for it they all pay. Lakiin its like a dhaqan that she isnt really worried about . Anyway all somali girla get sets of gold. The mehr is her money and if she asks you got to pay up.I have to say, it's very strange. Why have a mehr if it will be forgiven?

I'm baffled.
Ok good to know.No the religion allows her to forgive it. If she asks for it they all pay. Lakiin its like a dhaqan that she isnt really worried about . Anyway all somali girla get sets of gold. The mehr is her money and if she asks you got to pay up.
Wll read my later posts. Thats all i said. We are on the same pageYes, Yarad and gabati.
mehr is often forgiven she can reduce the amount, or if she wishes forgive the full amount otherwise it's a debt

Only for diaspora xalimoids which would indeed be a blessingYou think Somali women would pay for Somali men?
Meher itself will die, but a dowry for men would only accelerate the rate of interracial marriages.

kkkk if he was a ajnabi though it would be free.
I’m pretty sure meher will die. Everything points to it. The vast majority of homegrown Somalis are poor, and Diapora Somalis have, the majority of them, locked themselves into the lower class through ceydh.For 100k she better look like hural ain and not speak much

I have. A little too much through associating with Indians. Have you actually looked into it?The dowry ain't on the broke chick but on her dad.
Dowry makes a lot of sense in many ways.

I’m not anti-interracial. At least, it leads to genetic variation, which Somalis need in spades, let’s be honest.

It won’t because it’s part of our faith. There can’t be a marriage without meher. It can be anI’m pretty sure meher will die. Everything points to it.

What does the woman keep saying? I’m pretty sure he keeps saying we don’t have any money then what are they doing there? They want a wife for free such beggars wallah
hala aussi kefak ya albi 3an jad bit7kee about the markab? why markaab though? Why go that extreme and why would the women he’s marrying believe him if he isn’t filthy rich. Btw markab has a different meaning in Saudi dialect@Lamiis
Keyfak ya 3asal? Somalis promise meher and when divorce happens, it is third world war and who pays meher? 3amii ijawasa kam marra, ma 7id ba-ya3rif, 3ashra, tamantaa 3ashar, ma 7ad yadri, kulli marra ba yajawas, he promises markab (baaqira-ship) lil meher. After divorce, the ladies call me my dad asking for their baa5ira.
