You are making an assumption here. The most logical thing is to think the secret marriage is why he was refused. Yes Somalis do and for too long it has been well it already happened, so we might as well accepted it. We need more people to stand up to it and say no. maybe people will think more before they do itLet’s not bullshit because we all know Somalis always have done secret marriages. That’s how I even found out it existed through an elderly auntie who did it herself. We know in Islam it’s haram but it’s still widely practiced and recognized in the community. Had he been another qabil they would’ve definitely made the marriage halal.
