Mate we both know that many here have real problems with Somali women marrying out and use that as a
way to bash them.
When a Somali woman marries out they are insulted by the guys on this board and some go as far as calling the kids bastards even if she is married to a decent Muslim man.
A child takes on a fathers lineage, however, ethnicity and lineage is not the same.
Many Saudis are of Yemeni and Turkish background, yet they are still regarded as Saudi.
Stop conflating the two.
Ethnicity and lineage is the same. You mean lineage and nationality is not the same. Saudi nationality includes everyone with a Saudi passport, but real Arab you become only if you can trace your lineage back to Arab forefathers. Same with Somali.
Their kids are not bastards and if they marry out an decent Muslim Ajnabi it is not my concern or anybody else, but their families. No one has the right insult them or look down at them. The problem here is you can't deny that almost all Somali women who marry out, do it without the permission of their parents, and in the end most of this marriages don't last long. So they can marry out as much as they want i don't care, i just made clear that the kids have no Somali lineage and are not part of our ethnicity. That is a fact.
Me as a Somali man would never allow some Ajnabi guy to marry any of my sisters. I will only allow a Muslim Somali guy. This is not nationalism, but my God given right and duty to protect my female relatives. However if any female does it with the permission of her family Ahlan wa Sahlan, it is her good right then. I can only say if she breaks up with him, wich happen in most of this marriages, her kids are not Somali. You can't argue about that. The father and his folks will always (rightfully) claim her children.
