This is exactly why secret marriages are haram and invalid. Somalis need to stop doing secret marriages.
Either someone wants to marry you in public or not at all.
That guy needs to be arrested if Somalians is going to act like it’s a government.
Apparently someone correct me if i'm wrong, you only need like two witnesses and the Wali islamically. So whilst its not entirely 'secret' as that would be haram, it can be very lowkey which could obviously cause social issues. Example: So the bride's family and one two friends of the groom might know, but not his family and kids ect.
As much as I love my people, Somalis especially fobs will never stop this. I'm convinced our people love buuq and chaos too much. We just need to start raising our daughters to have self esteem. Far too many women are willing to become hidden 2nd wives who are not properly financially supported. Its why many Somali men are broke, yet polygamous.
We're so dysfunctional it hurts.
