About the coming to the father to ask for a girl, that's a bit forward lakin it's something that is part of Somali culture. If my father, "gave me away" though I'd be well pissed. He once told me that it was his prerogative and he could if he wanted to lakin I think he was just saying that cause I had annoyed him
ps you should always be prepared for the worst, it's easy enough to avoid the bad boys lakin there is no telling whether the "good" guy is actually going to be a good husband, especially Somalis who actually proudly say things like "been ku soo gali..." as if it's something lagu faano.
Then eventually a divorce. Lets not forget guys change once you marry them, and that is the most disappointing part wallahi.
