A message to my sisters: Make sure you have a marriage certificate

[blackbanana]

If the man ever leaves you, make sure they don't get off by a technicality. Make sure you have a marriage license that shows you were married. They might claim they were just a boyfriend to get away from paying child maintenance.

Caadi ma'ahan. And man can't 'get away' from his kids if you know his family. The first thing most Somalis ask when their daughter wants to get married is about his family. If they're decent then you shouldn't have to worry about that inshaAllah.

 

[Shushue]

Haha

I guess a man might have to leave a country to get away:

Common law marriage might apply if you are together for a number of years.

A lot of guys are scared to sign papers legally since marriages end quickly these days and they don't want to loose major assets in a divorce. They just do nikah/meher and that's it.

Truthfully, I can't blame em. Why put yourself at more risk than you have to?

They don’t have to worry since they don’t have any assets.

Very Funny.

But I'm serious walaal. The amount of early divorces in our community is too much. I went to qaado's for aroosyo last year and the couples have already divorced.

Can’t get away from child support whether he is husband or not

No lie I overheard people betting on how long the couple will last at a wedding I went to recently

 

[buuqiyobalayo]

What Somali man ever abandons his children?? What kind of darbii jiif men are you guys marrying.

 

[SomaliSteel]

A legal husband can abandoned his family as well, focus on character and you wont have issues

 

[AussieHustler]

If he admits it’s his child/children he’s legally binded to pay child-support. If he denies, he will be forced for a DNA test.

Isn’t the meher enough? Or, you want to double dip?

Waa ruuntey ina adeer, broke people shouldn’t worry about imaginary assets. Marriage becomes a hobby for them.

I don't think i would plan on leaving someone i want to be with. Funny post OP .
