Somalia is getting more feminist by the day

[Inactive]

Feminism has been brought to Somalia many years ago by Western diaspora with $25000+ mahrs demands. Many men and women are not married back home. Many unmarried women have joined the workforce as a result.

Feminism is in Somalia today. It came in a different form. Women in Somalia demand anywhere from $10,000 to $100,000 mahr.

I don't agree with this though. Barely any young people are married back home. I've seen many single 30+ year old men and women.

Mahr should be completely banned. People should get married and have kids. We have enemy neighbors with exploding populations.

But marriage should extend to LGBTQQIAAP.

100,000? She better sing in my ear while feeding me grapes if I'm paying that much..

Dowry in Somaliland ranges from $10,000 to $100,000 making it one of the most expensive if not the most expensive in the world over.

That picture never gets old!

Why can't they marry girls in the tuulos who are just happy having a family, aqal magaaleed and reading quraanka?

Do you know the definition of 'feminist' AJ?

Somali women demand outrageous mahr they know will never be paid because they don't want to really be married so they can be a housewife; they want to join the workforce and be free.

I did not think of it that way

That's so clever. I bet the wadaads will be out in force with that copper ring hadiis when they discover this

Honestly, would a person who really loves you demand anything outrageous? The women who are really in love with you and want to remain loyal will only ask for 3 months of rent or for you to teach them the Quran for free if you're a hafiz.

Lets be real here.

People who ask for outrageous mahrs have motives. They plan the divorce before they plan they marriage.

I thought they were being social climbers and marrying up. Not that many women marry for love any way.

I'll tell you a sad story.

I was with my uncle and my uncles friend's wife in an elevator.

I was maybe 12. She asks him what do you do for a living and he says he is a lecturer in a university at the time. He was visiting town.

She replies I should have gotten married to you.

She says this on the day of her wedding.

It's not that sad it's hilarious

She might've panic married

That doesn't mean you know your worth, rather it's quite the opposite. You are basing your worth on material goods. It's sunnah to make marriage easy and the mahr low so that it's not a burden.

Lol, I have heard of LGBT, but what do other letters stand for, or are your people just using every letter of the alphabet now.

 

[Geeljire]

It's the mothers who request such high dowry. So they can flaunt or something.

 

[Baraf]

It wasn't any different from the olden days I bet.

 

[Asma]

Who cares what a couple decide on their mahr. It is the woman's prerogative to ask for anything and the man's to refuse/accept.
