I myself see courthouse as more practical than a full-blown, money-wasting display (but then I’m not the type that dreamed about weddings). The majority of white people weddings I’ve been to have been very reasonable, cheap, and cut to the chase (didn’t run for hours).
It’s not the ease of the ceremony that’s the problem, its it’s weight. It holds no weight, even if kids are involved. They (White ppl) really fight for the relationship before they split. They go to counseling. They try. On the other hand, Somali women are all but destined to be single mothers, pretty much from the get go.

How about this;

When it comes to the institution of marriage, I follow the school of @Starscream. It is great and dandy if they were self-sufficient and don't want government peeking into their family's privacy, but what do Somali mothers with children tell the welfare office about the fathers of their children? A one night-stand conceptions? Why don't register with the authorities and not lie?
