I live next to Iraqis and Arabs and half of them are married to their cousinsTheir customs are very strange. I still don't get it. Also, their obsession with cousin marriages. Yuck!
Yep ngl it is clever in a way because they can save money like no tomorrow especially here in the UK. That's how timo jilec got on the property ladder easily in the 90s.Tbh that’s why they own far more houses than us. They crowd fund and buy a house eventually as they’re not paying rent.
No worries.OHHH. I honestly just misread the title of the post LOL.
Oh yeah then I agree with Sheik
I've heard the horror stories. However, I have South Asian friends who don't live with their parents (the non-traditional kind).Its their culture and it's how you get the horror stories of the mother in law using the new wife as free labour. I had a coworker who divorced her Timo Jilac husband because she couldn't cope with the mother in law. Told me she was getting woken up like it was shift at 6am on the weekend to help clean lmaooo.
South Asians culture is tapped, I’ve had them recommend to me if h can’t afford to get married just stay at home and get married in ur parents house, I was 17 at this time and they send doesn’t matter if ur house is small either one of my friends his sister in law(brothers wife) lives with him in a council estate it makes no sense to meI legit recently had an argument with a timo Jilac friend of mine who got married that it was not normal to live with parents and move his wife in with them. Sure it saves money and costs and I understand that part but this is something common with Timo Jilac in general regardless of income. As my friend and his wife make a good salary and should not be hurting for money. He had the cheek to say to me his bedroom is at the end of the other side of the house therefore it was fine.
I think I'd suffer from permeant ED if I had to make love to my wife in the same house as my parents/siblings. The fact he was arguing with me and painting me out to be the weird one had me baffled. South asians built different wallahi and I haven't even got into the whole concept of using the new wife as free labour around the house etc...

You’re kidding me. Do they chase after their husbands too?! Wallahi what a good deal. The timo jilac’s got some goodies over there. Imma steal them.Timo jileec women even pay dowry to their husband
Only common if they're poor. As soon as they can afford it, they'll get a house nearby. The idea of living on top of it each other isn't Somali dhaqan whatsoever. Nothing 'cadaan' about it as well. Learn your dhaqan before commenting and actually go back home.It’s common in Somalia, it’s only recently where we in the west adopted the caadan family way of living in terms of moving away from our parents etc.
Unfortunately overwhelmingly somalis in Somalia is poor, so I don’t know what you are talking about. The Somali dhaqan is togetherness, community oriented culture where family living with each other is common, maybe you need to go back home.Only common if they're poor.

Also when we were coming to the UK in the 90s as Refugees most of our people were reer baadiyo and needed guidance living in a urbanised environment, we should've approached the South Asian Muslim Community for 'community mentorship' instead of taking the advice of liberals who've led us astray and look at our community.Lol, who are we as Somalis to criticise South Asian family values when it's the secret to their success They are the highest earners in UK per capita and have the most sme's (small and medium enterprises), they are the most educated group, they are the least on welfare, they pay the most taxes, they are rising to the top in Silicon Valley and India was the richest country in the world and India is rising again and has big a future.
Instead of criticising them and poking fun at them, we should be inspired by them as Somalis who are rock bottom in all measures as a ethnic group.
Say mashallah South Asians are defying White Supremacy, what acheivments does Somalis stand to give them a leg to critisise and laugh at South Asians.
Somalis need to practice some of these habits to increase their family values as family values is the bedrock to all success for a ethnic group in a multicultural society.
Raah If it's in Baadiyo, They get their own Aqal made, they still would live in the encampment with other family members, but have the privacy of their own Aqalr.

waryaa @El Nino it's not like they're making jacayl at random, probably they wait till everybody is a sleep,

Timo jileec women even pay dowry to their husband
Togetherness as in living in the same area and parents moving in with their children when old. NOT brothers living in the same house and their many children ect. Like I said, once they can afford it, each brother lives separately. Like why on earth will you live in the same house as your brother and his wife. How is that even Islamically acceptable, especially if you can afford to live elsewhere?Unfortunately overwhelmingly somalis in Somalia is poor, so I don’t know what you are talking about.
