What about Somali parents who won't let their son/daughter to get married to a Somali person just because they are from different Somali clan? I would really love to hear what you all have to say about this because as you all know "Us" Somalis can be very discriminating against our own people.

to waris,

bro this thing happens in somalians everytime and thee is nothing you and i can do about even though it is wrong. but the stupid thing i can't understand is that we all somalians, have the same traditionals so why can't we get married to amongest ourselfs instead of saying you are a different clan. and another thing it is ok for her/his to marry a white or jamaicans but when it comes to marring somalian it is you are a different clan. this is stupidness and i think that everyone should be respect for what they are and who they are instead of judging.
so waris please answer me too.

peace & harmony

what your saying is true in one sense, but when we were growing up we were told bad things, so when it comes to marriage most ppl dont want to offend their parents/famalies. What they get wrong is that everyone is an individual and we should respect their individuality.
so sis let me know what u think by the way what u r email address sis, iam intersted in u r veiws sis.

What about my opinion??????
My parent won't let me marry one of your stupid clans like those from south somalia or those from north somalia. But, with a big But i am allowed to have a go to the rest.
Well I am too proud to share my lovely time with members of those clans.
One big disadvange for the hamarawee is that there are liars, pathetics and hyprocrites .
for the north somalia(or lallee) there are ignorants,big headed and knowing all...
Therefore you all somalis whether you are from the north or south you all fucked up!!!!!!!

DIXON IS THE MOST INTEGRATED SOMALI HOOD I EVER CAME ACROSS. GUESS WHAT PEOPLE THERE INTERACT DAILY. KIDS CALL ELDERS ABTI, EEDO, HABARYAR< OR ADEER. THEY EVEN CALL THE ELDEST ONES AYEEYO AND AWOOWE. STILL, THERE IS A SETTLED MISTRUST OF EACH OTHER. HAWIYAS Vs. DAAROODS. KIDS HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT THIS. AN AMAZING THING, THERE ARE TWO WELL KNOWN INCIDENTS THERE REGARDING YOUNG NAIVE LOVERS AND THIER TRIBAL ALLEGIANCE. I WON'T NAME NAMES THOUGH BUT THE CULPRITS OF THIS SCANDALOUS DISGUSTING THING WERE OF THE TWO TRIBE ( TRIBES IN THE NORTH_EASTERN & NORTH_WESTERN PARTS OF SOMALIA). THOUGH, PARENTS FROM THE SOUTHERN REGIONS ARE NOT INNOCENT, THEY SEEM MORE RELAXED AND MORE OPEN AT THE END. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THIS SUGGESTION AND PLEASE DON"T TAKE IT AS I AM ADVOCATING FOR SOUTHERN SOMALIS..THOUGH I WAS BORN THERE...MY TRIBE IS FROM THE FAR NORTHERN PART OF SOMALIA....
SOMALIS ARE SOMALIS..NO MATTER WHERE U FROM AND WHOSE FAMILY U WERE BORN TO...PARENTS NEED TO REALISE THAT IF U REFUSE YOUR DAGHTER OR SON TO MARRY ANOTHER SOMALI....BE AWARE THEY WILL END UP LOOSERS AND THEY MAY EVEN LOOSE THEIR IDENTITY AND BECOME ALIENATED AND DISGUSTED WITH THEIR BEING AND SELF. THEY WILL GO AND MARRY INFIDELS AND THUS WILL CROSS OVER.
SKINNY POET>>>PEACE....

Salaam guys.........

i think if ur parents dont allow u to merry some1 from a diff. clan than urs...........then do what eva pleases ur parents................u only got one parents.............and obeying them is from the obedience of Allah................men and women come and go................it would really hurt me if i fall in love with a man and when i wanted to merry him my mom said No cuz of his clan.............so i talk to her and ask her what clans she wont be happy with..........and i try to stay away..............

I know that is wrong..............and i truely dont believe in it.............but what can i do if i wanna please my mother........my only mother...........

The bad thing is its not only parents who got that kinda belief...............i got friends who r my age who say 'uf' to some clans...............

last Anon..........How u gonna convince a 40+up year old parent to change something they believed in for ever!!! i think that is pretty hard!!!!

till lata
adios
