Pass on her contact details.
Agreed. I'll as long as you're willing to travel kismayo and live there for good.
No chance.
yeah. It was an uncle of ours and he's made the proposal awhile back. We all refused because there hasn't been any intermarriages within our family yet. But there's a cousin of mine in Chicago and homie might say yes but he does't like the idea of being the first man to marry a cousin.

Cousin focking is not in our culture. We as Somali consider cousins like our siblings. Wallahi my cousin are like my brothers and sisters.disgusting doesn't even describe it

Waan gartay. yacni cousinkaada inaad habeen bar ula soo baxdo waa ceeb soo ma'aha?
Agreed!
Elit taas waaba laga daran yahay, hadii adi iyo gabadhu isfahmi weysaan qaraabada ayaa is qabsanee, tan labaad si bulshadu isu dhaxgasho waxaa la qaatay in banaanka loo kala qaraabto and above hada lacag qof uma guursan karo.
Btw to help her and her siblings they are many other ways to do rather than marrying her.
I agree. Isfaham darada way dhacdaa khaasatan labada qof ee isqaba. Haday sheekada xumaato, familka waad isku xumaanaysaan. I have seen this. I know people that do not to talk to their family members because of this.

Mother's side which I think is actually worse.

This is primarily for the guys but the ladies can contribute too. For instance, say you have a rich elderly aunt/uncle who's soon to pass who wants you to marry their daughter to keep the wealth within the family. Would you do it? Before you ask, assume this cousin of yours is a first cousin.
More money more problems. No thanks.

There is nothing with marrying a cousin. There is something wrong with marrying someone who is not suitable to a mother/father though.

Cousin marriages can get so awkward if you and your spouse fight (which is a given in Somali marriages). If you end up divorcing her, say goodbye to half of your family

actually cousin marriages have the lowest divorce rate. If a problem escalates the family mediates between them and deflates the problem.

I dont see anything wrong with it, why make xaram what Allah made xalal. But close family guur isn't ideal, if it doesn't workout never ending feud between family.
