Re: bride kidnapping
Yeah Somalis used to kidnap all the time. But I think it's the sheikhal that made it their culture otherwise the marriage wasn't accepted.

I heard the man had to beat the """" out of the women before marrying her.zumaale wrote:Prior to urbanisation, all Somalis in general viewed women as a form of property that were exchanged between clans in return for camels.
No where is it sanctioned in Islam that the muhrams/clanfolk of a woman should receive payment for her hand in marriage.
You can also forget about seeking a woman's opinion on a suitor.
Can anyone confirm this old Somali nomadic tradition for me, on the wedding night, a man was expected to physically overpower (Lagdin/Dagaal) the woman before consummating the marriage. The woman would not also view him as a 'man' if he could not physically overpower her.

Talk bout the karbash before the Jimaac.

Halmog, I have heard it on several occasions from the wise men with red beards in regard to how Reer Mii Somalis conducted themselves when it came to consummating a marriage.Halmog wrote:zumaale wrote:

Even the Orientalist Richard Burton noted a similar tradition in his book.
On first entering the nuptial hut, the bridegroom draws forth his horsewhip and inflicts memorable chastisement upon the fair person of his bride, with the view of taming any lurking propensity to shrewishness.
23 This is carrying out with a will the Arab proverb,
“The slave girl from her capture, the wife from her wedding.”
During the space of a week the spouse remains with his espoused, scarcely ever venturing out of the hut; his friends avoid him, and no lesser event than a plundering party or dollars to gain, would justify any intrusion. If the correctness of the wife be doubted, the husband on the morning after marriage digs a hole before his door and veils it with matting, or he rends the skirt of his Tobe, or he tears open some new hut-covering: this disgraces the woman’s family.
What if BV was magically transported back in time to 19th century Galgudud and found herself a newlywed in a marital hut awaiting her master's presence? I would pay to watch that

Re: bride kidnapping
How about this one.
Some centuries ago in Somalia, when a man is interested in a woman and wants her for marriage, he would got and take big shit outside her backyard. As the family awakes in the morning, they'd welcome the shit with mashxarad and music because their daughter is getting married. Apparently, this was pretty popular among Somalis.

Matter of a fact, the bigger the shit the deeper the love the man has for the woman. Some niggas would save up their shit by keeping for couple of days and then go all out in front of her house.
