one somali father's Plan to Save his Girls!

[Otali]

The smartest somali man and father in North America by far!

Some background: This man, my neighbor, easy going somali family man in his early 50s who works for the postal office, drives one of those trucks every day. Very laid back individual, you know, jokes around a lot, plays soccer with his kids and is really funny. This man and I have become actually close friends not only on account that he and I attend the same mesjid regularly and are neighbors, but also his political, social and above all personal views are so compatible to mine. It is really amazing! I can really say I get long with this somali man more so than I would get along with some punk here in his 20s, same generation as me. And though I know he probably knows my clan as I do his, we are still buddies. So we are having our usual conversation about life while driving back home from the mesjid. And I’m sharing with him some of my impressions of the state of affairs of Somalis in town, you know good stories and inevitably, bad stories, those despicable realities we would rather not speak of. But let me to you something about this man, now I have noticed that if there is one thing this man does not joke around about at all is his family. He takes his family’s future really serious, not like the normal seriousness, but it is for him like his second religion, life and death and any mention at family issues he gets very SERIOUS can ruin a whole discussion and prompt him to get perturbed the whole afternoon, at any mention of family or family troubles others are experiencing. And who can blame the poor guy, he has like 5 little daughters. I was blunt with him, though he is like my father’s age, I told this good man that in the very near future, maybe 3 to 4 years from now, his life would be a living hell. You see, I said, you have good girls and may allah make them to grow up to be great muslims, but they risk the real chance of being destroyed here before your eyes, especially the 10 and 12 year olds. At this he became very disturbed and excited and told me something very personal. HIS PLAN. He told he spent nights thinking about the future of his little girls, literally sleepless nights just thinking, and decided that the only way to save them from the clutches of these heartless gaalo, was to find as soon as they reached puberty or turned 15 good boys their age and connect them up to get married, in other words, find them not only boyfriends but like a kind of arranged marriage. I had to give it up to this man; he was progressive, because Somalis are losing their daughters because they are not thinking that these girls have “needs” no matter how young they are and better to get them hooked than to try to turn a blind eye. At this I told him to stop the car and we shook hands, I said what genius you are and good father looking out for your kids and not forsaking them to fate. He said, this is the least he can do as a father, besides someone had to guarantee all the investment, time and money and love he was putting into this girl, no way he was going to lose them to some degenerate fuuck. God bless this Somali man and may more fathers think and be more like him!
Because your family, wallahi, your own blood and bone, those children, are your only life insurance you got!

How can the man even think of marying off his daughters at that age?
Yes i agree with you, they have needs even at that age however they are not mentally prepared to take on a responsability as great as that, once your married (especially as a woman) you not only have to look after yourself but also your husband and then sonner or later your children, but at 15 your still a child especially when your raised in the west, it aint like back home anymore!! REMEMBER THAT BRO!!
there are other alternatives to ruining their lives.................. what if they change their mind at 21 when their at university or if they meet someone they really fall in love with eh
That is not the way, we have passed the stone age............ think outside the box

Islam encourages young marriage, as long as they are not forced in to it, what's the problem? Something done for the sake of Allah is not a waste. (or mistake inshaAllah)

That pitiful solution is fo insecure parents that doubt their parenting.If yo raise yo kids right by fulfillin' yo duty as a Moslem and father surely you will reap the rewards and Allah will reward man?Po' man,he doubts his power as a man,Moslem and a father I hope his innocent daughters be alright.
