sadly, i gotta agree on this

this dude could have stayed with his wife if he really loved her and adopted some Somali kids that are vulnerable to gaalo influence

Co sign. Somali men like this put me off marrying within my community. wallahi. When ish gets tough Somali men seem quick to run to the masjid for a divorce. Divorce is a last resort, for all other Muslim men except Somali men. They start new families like franchises.

It's rampant for many Muslim communities, not only Somali.

I don't know how the salafis or whabi (sp?) do things but most moderate Muslims I know marry and stay married. Most of my Muslim friends are Persian/Brown/Afghan.

What? Why bring in Salafi/Wahabi into this?

Divorce is rampant among most people.

I think he did a noble thing. Maybe the woman wanted children and he couldnt deliver so he set her free?

sealion you are too judgemental

You have to share the fact that you were once married and divorced...the details are up to you really. Like you said you still have hope, make lots of duaa and be patient.

I've heard from my mum and other sources. Such people tend to be in polygamous marriage and marry/divorce more quickly.

P.S The only person in my maternal family to ever divorce is my aunt who unfortunately ended up married to men who like to beat her. And only one uncle on my paternal side is divorce. This is including everyone, aunts, cousins, uncles.

As said, it's rampant amongst all people.

Have you thought about artificial insemination? It's costly, but if you have the means to do so, it's an option.

Some not all, in my family you'd get ostracized if you divorced for a inane reason.

I'm still laughing at "I've heard from my mum".

Don't be mean! My mum is my best-friend I tell her everything and she tells me everything. Seriously there is nothing she doesn't know about me. She is my !

Lol, I don't mean to insult your mom, at all. But her being a source, I find a little humorous.

You are not worthy of another, ee naga hakaa aman helaan
