SomaliNet Forums

I've been very perplexed by this thought of mine which I thought I might share and get some of your opinions, particularly the girls. By modesty, I refer to sexual modesty and staying chaste until marriage but I what fail to under is this:

A girl must not entertain a guy's attention, lest she be immodest and impure.

A girl must not talk about liking a guy otherwise she is disgusting and has no shame.

A girl must not talk about men because talking about men suggests she has desires which are wrong and bad that no girl should have.

BUT, some age 21+, something magical happens whilst everyone is sleeping one night:

A girl must be married soon because she is beginning to get old.

A girl must be with a man otherwise she will be alone for the rest of her life.

A girl must marry so that she can have children and look after "her" man.

When does this magical night happen? For the men here I ask a similar question: when is the magical night you stop protecting daughter from the evil, predatory men out there and in fact encourage her to marry them? ( ) When do you come to this conclusion.

Somalis are focked in the head (and teeth).

they hate logic, please don't use logic when you are interacting with these lesser beings

homosexuality is a repugnant disease

Noted, but this topic isn't about homosexuality. If you can't contribute accordingly I will report you for derailing it.

it links with this topic since modesty and lifestyle should be rooted in somali values based on religion

Is it illegal in the Forums to derail threads nowadays?????? Well, I am going to the penitentiary then. I am guilty of that. Due to my high popularity status, whenever I share something personal about me-- the topic gets derailed. Am I guilty of a crime?


LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL At the random introduction of Homosexuality.

You kinda have a point there. It's a delicate balance..to reconcile modesty with rules of seeking/selecting husband. and even if a girl goes about the safest route and have her parents select a husband, there's still the concern of how to approach him....I remember a story I heard of a girl who acted very naughty during her wedding night and her new husband began to worry that she had a sketchy past

Who doesn't have a Sketchy past?

She prolly did something rudimentary like laying down w/o being told

You see, it's things like this. If she was bad in bed, he would complain about how bad she was.

The aunt who will stare at a girl with disgust when she sees her walking with her male cousin will ask the same girl the next day "when are you getting married" while detesting the girls presence around any male.

Its not really a Somali thing though, seen it with the timajilics and loads of other folk too.

is not only somalis, majority of eastern culture.
