What's somali way to ask for marriage?

[TheCadaanGuy]

I wasn't raised in Somali way, so here I am, asking this question.

I met a woman few months back then. We agreed to marry on condition that we complete our exams which is within few weeks insha'allah.

So, what do I then? Do I come by her house and ask her father for his daughter or what?

[Idman702]

Gather your male relatives, go to her father's house. Let your dad and her father talk. If they agree, then ask for her hand in marriage. The dad will say yes, then he will call in the daughter and ask her if she wants to be your wife, then she will say yes. You will all drink shaax and have a good time.

Good luck

1) pray istikhaaro that she & marriage is the right decision
2) tell her to prepare her family
3) y'all call them and tell them you're coming down & Why
4) bring your male entourage along & $£€$£€ / gifts (flowers don't count, same with things that die or expire)
5) present your case, come prepared like it's an interview for the best job in the world (in case you're interrogated)

All the best in shaa Allah hope you're not that no identity/games guy

The first step is to be Somali


If you really are an Cadaan guy then unfortunately you fall at the first hurdle so find yourself another female

[TheCadaanGuy]

I'm ethnically Somali. The cadaan part is my culture.

Buy the person you want to marry khat.

[Xamud.]

Challenge her father to a fist fight, of course the fight will never take place but it will show her father that you are a man worthy of his daughter.

Good luck

What is cadaan culture?

This may be even worse


Waryaa intaad wax isku fasho dhaqankaaga orad soo barro intii aad wax baas isku dhadhajin laheyd. Markaad caruur yeelato ayaga awlaad cadaan miye noqonaayan? Ceeb badanaa

[TheCadaanGuy]

I actually know her family for more than 15 years. I don't think there will be problems with her father accepting me.

Only one issue is we hail from different clans.

How is it worse if I have every intention to raise my children in Somali way?

It wasn't my fault that I wasn't raised in Somali way, nor is my parents fault. A set of unfortunate circumstances led me being raised in that way.

[Firefly]

If that's the case, shouldn't she be the best person to ask? Or has she adopted cadaan culture too?

[TheCadaanGuy]

She has adopted cadaan culture too.

It's not about how you were raised or circumstances. It is about what you identify with, you chose to call yourself "TheCadaanGuy". That says a lot


But you are probably trolling. NoIdentity 2.0

Surely tribe won't matter if you know her family that well, something tells me you're probably trolling.
