Providing the parents aren't qabil obsessed and care more about other qualities, arranged marriages can definitely be great.
Only issue is that some Somali parents have very low standards. I know of cases of them encouraging their daughter to marry guy because he is 'of the same tribe' and apart from that, the chap doesn't have any other qualities they can speak of apart from being habal habal's son. What about his level of education, career, ambition, what about doing proper background checks to see if he regularly attends the masjids ect. A lot of arranged marriages won't work in our community as a lot of fathers are complacent and laid back when it comes to their role of Walis.
Despite timo jilecs marriage issues, one thing I do admire is that parents try to make sure their daughters get with proper providers with a similar educational backgrounds as their daughters. Many older generation Somalis don't have that mentality.
Nah, the issue is that many arranged marriages that happens in the Somali community is based on qabil and usually the other potential spouse is from back home and has nothing in common with the girl. Honestly, think back to most situations of arranged marriages in our community and unfortunately, you'll find those are the most common. So of course, the girls would hate that idea. Even our guys are anti arranged marriages, so the decent ones who are catches, will try to avoid it and meet a girl in a different way.Indeed. That's the other half of the problem. Finding a Somali girl receptive to an arranged marriage with a father proactively interested in helping is extremely unlikely.
I do believe it would solve a lot of problems, but arranged marriages don't fit Somalis. I have noticed Somalis mature way slower in thinking about marriage and kids than our Asian and Arab counterparts.
Your parent will usually find you a good match and will consider many things before pitching a person,im not fussed, either I stumble into one or my parents can give me a suggestion which I can suss out.Its generally good to get the parents involved because at the end of the day you're marrying a family not only a women, its a responsibility upon all muslim men to choose good mothers for their children.
Under the pandemic is the perfect time to get married.. Thanks to the restrictions and the lockdown the wedding expenses are minimal, many faraxs have taken advantage of this opportunity.
Weddings shouldn’t be expensive in the first place, covid or no covid.This 100% I missed out so much, the height of covid faraxs won. Money in the bank after marriage ? Whaaat ?
2020 was the year of Faraxs.

If all the guys should find their own wives, then arranged marriages wouldn't exist? Nothing wrong with maybe getting to know a girl your sister, aunt or hooyo recommend.For a guy, his family shouldn't be involved too much and he should bring his own woman to the family if he can. There are opportunities for college age guys. They should start to think settling down IN their senior year and swipe phone numbers from potential wives. I would advise that to my young male relatives. Real men bring their wives home. LOL.

Idgaf about arranged marriage tbh, if she listens to eli fross, freaky and darkskinned (different qabil) then I’m downArranged marriages in the Somali community doesn't work. These hooyos will try to match their gangbanger ciyaal suuq sons with educated good hearted xalimos
What if she’s ajnabi and muslim?- Tell him to talk to me if he falls in love with a high school Somali classmate

You’d be a great dadThat would be second choice. But first, he needs to bring that big fore-headed Haliimo. It is important to teach kids important first choices.
