15,000?
Those brown teeth girls in Africa are proper hustlers. But I think that's an exaggeration, there was a video where a 19 year old got married to two girls at once in hargeisa. The wedding looked like a campfire shindig. :siilaanyolaugh: They were even wearing the same outfits. They probably bought it themselves....
22/23 is when you are finished college so I don't think that's necessarily a problem, but I agree that Somalis are marriage obsessed. You have to understand mentally they're back home, they're not here. They're here to so called make money, but really they'd like to be back home it's just a shit hole let's be honest. Personally I think there isn't much of an emphasis on much outside of finishing Quran, marriage, and having kids, and it can be toxic to be around and hear.As I've said before Somalis are too marriage obsessed. We need a cultural shift. When I was twenty-two/twenty-three I was focused on pursuing my academic and professional goals. Hustling to make a better life for myself and my family. That stupid Somali bridal page is selling dreams to these young impressionable people. She needs to shut it down.
She can ask for whatever she wants though. Xaq bey uu leedahay. It's something a Muslim woman is entitled to and can ask for any amount that she wants. That's not on the man to decide and he shouldn't pressure her. Somali men have a lot of hidden income, 10k shouldn't be hard to pay. Get to your subclan to contribute. If a Somali man can have hidden wives he can afford 10k.I blame the women tbh. A majority of these women are asking for $10,000 mehr minimum, I've said this before in another thread.
Finding a job isn't easy as it was in the past. Mehr should be 2-4K and the rest of your money should be in a savings account to build towards the future.
How is it overpopulated?Somalia is overpopulated. They should start with a 1 child policy.

The guy in the video wanted to marry his first cousin. Yaab! AUN nevertheless.

Like the other poster says raising that amount will not be difficult. Somali men crowdfund wedding/marriage expenses all the time. Two summers ago, a guy from my tribe I didn't know from Adam had his mum call me to ask me to donate to his wedding. Yaab. She had the adaucity to say she was a good girl and deserves a nice wedding. I told her she'll have to settle for whatever her son can afford and rushed her off the phone.
I agree. I believe that if you don't have enough money to get married you shouldn't get married. Save up alot of money and get married when you have your job, finances, living expenses, and other shit together.

Dry land. It can't support more than 10 million and they are still having 6 children on average.
The situation in Niger is even worse.
Somalis need to invest in drilling underground aquifers like Ghaddafis Libya. I think we could host 20 million Somalis, but no more.
we are already 20 million. unless the Somalis abroad are not ever planning to return.Somalis need to invest in drilling underground aquifers like Ghaddafis Libya. I think we could host 20 million Somalis, but no more.
