Are we look for the right way to ask a Somali girl's hand or are we just playing around!
If we are serious about it, let get serious about it!
There are alot of ways to skin a cat --and that goes for asking a girl's hand too!
First before you ask a girl to marry, you getta know that she is the right person for you, and that she is healthy and have a good personality. beauty, wealth and nobility is plus!
There is a traditional way of asking, to either go to the girls father or next of kin and ask for hand, or to send a convoy of elders with a little bit of "yarad" or some kind of live stock, and after a few drinks of tea and jokes, the deal is reached and you are off to Nikah.
but this has been out dated, and in this time an age, you may be better to go straight to the girl and get to know her and after that you may worry about meeting her parents.
The religion way of asking is the same as the cultural way, you have to get permission from the girls authority or parents, but also the girl have to be ready and accept the request. you have to give her dowry, and marry her on her spiritual qualities, not materialistic or superfusial ones!
There was a sub-culture or an underground way of also running with the girl to another town or city away from her parents and paying a sheikh to tie a knot and after she is pregnant, bringing her back to the family, this only works, If the family doesn't want you to have the girl because of you tribe or your socio-economic level. and usually the girl is forced to go with you, if you try this, you may be charged with unlawful kidnapping and attempted rape!
Now, the Western way --is after getting to know the girl for years, and having sex with her several times, to suprise her in a creative way with the words "will you marry me" either flying on sky, or underwater or on the radio or tv, the kneeling down and putting a ring through her finger!
--This may not work for Somalis!
