But the most famous of all is Bodheri and Hodan.
Hodan is reported as a young charming and Drop Dead, Gorgeous chic from Buuhoodle, she was from wealthy family of higher social standing within the clan structure while Bodheri was from lower social standing, a baker in Berbera. He knew he had no chance with Hodan due to their relative social standing/
His clan became worried that he was not interested in anyone other than Hodhan. They brought four beautiful young women to him, and they uncovered the top part of their dresses to show him their breasts, then he was asked to choose one amongst the four girls as his bride. He refused.
Later, he became distraught; a "different man" after learning that she was to be married to another man richer than himself and from the same social class as her.
Some say he drank a poison after Hodan's rejection others say he starved him self
He died in 1947; his body is buried in a dusty cemetery in Berbera.. Bodheri died of a broken heart, childless and still in his youth. Bodheri's poems were inspired by a tragic and true tale of "forbidden love.
