Do you guys send money back home?

[ReyRey]

If only I could take back all those years busting my ass in a warehouse so that I can send money to my abtis in dhuusamareeb. I've been helping them for so many years but when I asked for their daughters' hand in marriage they all violently refused.

Do y'all send money to Somalia? Why do our people back home think money grows on trees in the west?

why would you wanna marry a cousin sxb im glad they refused

Close relatives who live in Somalia are middle class or above (for Somalia). I don't send them money.

And for the poor distant relatives... feel bad about it, but I don't feel like that is my problem.

 

[ReyRey]

No. They can work.

I agree. Any Somali with "self employed" as a job title on their FB page is milking a westerner

My mum used to send money back home to pay for Ayeeyo’s medical stuff.

I just don't want to marry outside my tribe again. I feel like marrying a close relative is like investing in oneself

You will be messing up the genetic quality of the child. More likely that he or she will become ill or have low intelligence.

100 a month to take care of a aunt who is deaf and blind. Sadaqah like that will never decrease your wealth. Maybe qaraan occasionally if something happens in the tol

The chances of that is very rare.

Walaahi it should be haram to do this. I seen so many children look less than what their maximum potential would have otherwise been had the marriage not been such an arrangement.

Look at the other races. They have mixed for generations and they have more genetic variation than us. We somalis on the other hand have isolated ancient genes that are less diverse.

Yeah my main goal is to marry a girl back home after this pandemic dies down ishAllah. Illiterate women make the best wives. No feminism, no education, no man hating ideology and no sense of entitlement. She'll cook, clean and slave for you.

only a fool would fail to see the golden opportunity here

You are sending money for the wrong reasons bro...Never send money to a naag who ain’t your wife
