Absent Fathers in the Somali Community

Total b.s..why dosen't he take it to court?..if a man is serious about seeing his kids..he'll do whatever it takes..

You think it's that easy?

She has access to Legal Aid and he doesn't. HE cannot afford to take her to court when her case will receive free funding from the government.

I have written about this ignominy elsewhere. It is very SAD. I pray for the poor single mothers. Then there are some men who are with their wives, but are not part of their children's lives. They rather talk politics and Qabyaalad with their friends.

Any person can have a child; it takes a man to raise his children!

I pray for the Somali speaking Peoples!

The Somali people are a wounded race! 100% of the males are MUTILATED!!! Herein lies the problem: The Somali people have been brain-damaged! Eating meat (DEATH) further weakens our people!

WAKE UP!

How many of these absent fathers were banned from seeing their kids by the mother.

Know plenty of fathers who suffer from depression and taking anti depressants because the mother refuses them contact with the children.

I know of this one Faarax whose wife goes to a wedding every other night and he looks after the kids. He is disrespected by all the guys because they all say to him: Your wife was wearing this and that etc. When he was asked why doesn't he get a divorce, he says its for the sake of the kids.

Your friend should talk with some sheekhs

1. Stop having too many kids, invest in birth control
2. Xalimos need to stop lying about their income to collect assistance, it absolves responsibilities from men, make them pay the bills so they don’t have enough to look for another woman.
3. Encourage the men to be hands on fathers and help around the house

When Somalian woman gets divorced, she takes the kids as if she made them on her own. Don’t act like super heroes, sisters make these men pay child support and involve them in their kids’ lives.

Your damned if you do and your damned if you dont.

If he divorces her and is not a part of his children's lives due to the mother you will accuse him of being a deadbeat dad. If he stays in the marriage, he is berated by everyone for being used and abused and her crocodile tears will convince the community that she is the miskeen.

Seen this movie too many times.

Aint fallin for it mate.

Why not just have a family intervention happens all the time back home when Two couples dispute the families Will sort the issue out

Doesn't work for everyone. Otherwise there would be much fewer divorces. Exploiting family ties might work for some, but not for everyone. This guy actually tried.
