I think fathers and brothers need to be actively involved in the process when their daughters and sisters are ready for marriage. I have seen no other group of Muslim men that are as hands off as Somali men when it comes to their women. I have an Afghani friend who once asked me "how come Somali men don't care?" and then I said "about what?" and he said "about anything." I pressed him further and he gave some examples, the biggest one being how we don't care about our girls. They go out when they want, come home when they want, date who they want, marry who they want, divorce at whim. It's a freaking free for all with no rules. Wallahi I had no answer. All I could tell him was "I don't know bro".
Somali dads and brothers need to be involved with the process from the beginning. Arranged marriages are good, but the girl should of course always have the choice to refuse. The girl should also have the right to meet a guy on her own, but then her dad should let her know that when she meets a guy she should immediately tell him and her brothers so they can vet the guy and see if he's suitable for her or if she's selling herself short. Men can pick up on things about other men that women can't. A dad or brother can tell if he's an unscrupulous player or irresponsible loser, but women may not be able to pick up on it. Also, when the guy has to meet the dad or brothers he's not gonna mess around and take advantage of the girl physically and bounce. If he's serious about marriage he'll be down to continue, if he's not then he'll disappear.
