I have never heard of this so can anyone confirm or denounce what he is saying, because that sounds like something imported from elsewhere rather than homegrown.
Was this really apart of our culture or is this guy lying?

A lot of Somalis came out and said this is not a common practice in the comments of another video .
Not common, my grandmother got married at 18, but rejected several men between 16-18 and this would have been in the 70's.

No one is going to state publicly that their daughter is ready marriage. We like to do things behind closed doors.
Whats more likely imo is that the father went to the unmarried men who frequent the masjid and asked them if they want to marry his daughter. These men have likely told the masjid sheikh or an oday that they want to get married, no one is going to approach a random guy who has not stated, if he wants to get married.
In the west, our masjids run marriage programs. That culture has not come out of nowhere, it was present back home.
Arranged marriages were common in my family and we are not in the wadaad circles. Unfortunately this has died in my family and overall in the west.
We need to come back to our roots and modify it. It should be a cultural norm again. I would put everybody kids at those lists in the masjid. I would also make sure parents present options to their children, this doesn’t unfortunately happen much.
