Somalis need to marry young

[Ayubi]

One thing I like about Arabs is they marry young so when they’re kids are grown, They’re not too old. They be getting arranged marriages when they’re 16. We Somalis need to copy this culture, Imagine seeing a bunch of 40 year old Abtis and Habaryars tell you all their kids are graduates? Not only that but you can potentially see your great grandkids grow up and with the advance of medicine, life expectancies grow (by Allah’s will of course).

University/college is what makes people marry so late. People who never go to uni tend to marry much younger. Idk, perhaps it is the indoctrination you get there.

People who go university have careers they want to develop and it take some time for the money to start rolling.

If you don't go uni, your pay check isn't going to rise and you don't have any career plans. Easier to marry. All the people I know who married young just work normal jobs.

This works if your family is wealthy enough to support you and your spouse, but it is a great idea.

40 is the best age. Fewer chances of accidental pregnancy, well-established, young but mature vibes and at your self-actualization peak.

40 if you want genetically challenged children

 

[hannah54321]

No people should marry once they actually have saved money finished uni and have a decent job so average age should be at least over 25

40 if you want genetically challenged children

You can genetically screen the embryo and do some other high tech suugo science to prevent it. Also, some women freeze their eggs nowadays.

Plenty of healthy babies born to 40 year old women. Take care of yourself (as what you do during your peak fertility years matters later on). It's all you can do. And don't marry your damn cousin.

IVF is the way it seems, if all else fails get a surrogate so you do 0 work

i want to marry soon so i can i have kids, Then i will marry a second wife soon after, I want to marry a lot of women then divorce them and marry another one im working hard on my money game for this

 

[The Somali Caesar]

Somalis back home generally do get married young it’s just the diasporas who have a western mentality to marriage. Scared of commitment etc

 

[hannah54321]

This is why divorce is high ppl stay getting married when they don’t have nothing to bring to the table

Somalis back home aren't people we should emulate

 

[Sophisticate]

Yeah my comment was in jest, it's only a 2% increased risk.

My cousin had her first kid at 40. She's worked out since her late 20s. Alx, all is well. She also looks younger than her peers. Taking notes.

I play soccer with my oldest son on the weekends, we both play defense. People are shocked when i tell them this is my boy. I was 16 when he was born. He is now a senior in high school. I could be a grandad before i hit 40 if this nigga handles his buisness.

At least over 25? That's a little extreme. I would say ideally 27 for men and 25 for women.
