What do you think of Somalis who marry their cousins

[Geeljire lotus]

That’s fucking disgusting if it’s the new generation doing that

 

[GoldmanSachs]

Dude, I’m just a random person on the internet. Why the f*ck are you so obsessed with my sex life for? Making all these assumptions about me, but I would probably take your girl without any problems. Lol. Stop projecting your insecurities and problems onto me you weirdo.

You taking my girl?

The same nigga who said this just a few days ago:

Niggas thought I was a looser incel just because I said these women in the west are cursed.

Can you imagine these women being the mother of your children, teaching your children that marrying a man serving life in prison should be their aspiration?

God forbid. I would rather die single than marry one of these wretched women.

Fam I feel sorry for Somali guys. You don’t see Muslim girls from other ethnicities going carnival or raving as often as Somali girls. Wallahi even the hijabis be going carnival. Why are girls from our ethnicitiy so ratchet and ghetto? Why don’t they listen to Katy Perry and Taylor Swift or some other normal mainstream shit? The wildest shit that arab or south asian girls do is shisha and shit(obviously I’m talking about on a group level, not individual), why is it not the same for us? Is it the colour of our skin or some shit?

It's obvious to anyone who actually has a life why you need to marry your cousin.

I’ve been to Garissa, Hargeisa, Laascaanood, Bosaso and its all common there. Nothing to do with clan or region, it’s just part of Somali culture. If you don’t like it, that doesn’t change the facts on the ground.

In truth, this doesn't surprise me at all. Exactly the places that I would expect for this practice to proliferate vs other Somali regions considering their proximity to the Arabian peninsula. I still don't believe it to be anywhere near as normalized as you are claiming where it is part and parcel of the culture like in the Khaleeji countries and Pakistan. I also believe you are using that term "cousin" very liberally here and applying it two Hartis or two HJs getting married. No surprise there as intraqabil marriage has become the norm since the civil war.

You’re pinpointing the origin of cousin marriages to Arabs, when it’s common among all races, cultures and ethnicities. Marrying your cousin was simply easier and safer. In Somalia, marrying your cousin from your fathers side was normal and perfectly caadi.

So now you're claiming cousin marriage was the accepted practice and standard even when your own source essentially verified that at least 38% of a sub-clan didn't even marry within their clan, forget sub-clan, laf, or actual 1st and 2nd cousins which is the contention here? That's only one source and perhaps the only source you could find that gives that low of an estimate. Even if we were to take your low estimate here, 38% is not a tiny minority by any stretch of the word.

And again, this guy comments on my sex life calling me an incel. How many times have you used that term in this thread already? Either you’re a , or a miserable fucker who is so depressed in real life from the lack of attention from the opposite gender that he thinks every other person is suffering from the same problem.

Clearly if that word wasn't triggering you and didn't have any truth to it, you wouldn't be reacting in this way you basement-dwelling loser.

 

[GoldmanSachs]

Here is actual documentation by neutral third-party observers like Europeans:

In 1962 I. M. Lewis, an English anthropologist who did extensive research among the Northern Somalis published an essay on Somali Marriage customs. Most of his research was conducted among the Dhulbahante. In a survery of 89 marriages contracted by Dhulbahante men, Dr Lewis found the following statistical facts:

55 (62 per cent) were with women of Dulbahante primary lineages other than those of their husbands; 30 (33.7 per cent.) with surrounding clans of other clan families (with the Habar Yuunis, 10; Habar Tol Jaelo, 18; and Hawiye, 3); and 3 (4.3 per cent.) with other clans of the Daarood clan-family (Majeerteen, 2; Ogaadeen, 1).

You claimed that most Somalis married outside their clan, whilst this sample clearly shows that 62 % married within their sub clan. Another lie busted.

I don’t think you know anything about Somali culture tbh, you’re just an ignorant who talks too much crap.

I also have my own sources:

Pretty much consistent with what I was saying. Cousin marriage was not the norm among Somalis and "Clan Exogamy" was encouraged. That does not mean that I was all or even most Somalis married outside of their clans. That was a terribly constructed strawman by you. Intraqabil marriage did happen just as did cousin marriages which were much more rare, of course, but it was nowhere near as common as it is now after the civil war.


And don't think I'm not catching the clear obfuscation here. Most people here are not disgusted by distant cousins or people who hail from the same sub-sub-sub-sub clan marrying each other, but their actual 1st or 2nd cousins who they grew up practically seeing as their siblings.

Unless you have generations of inbredding nothing will happen. You are more ok with gays marrying than cousins. Daaamn thats messed up.


No i didnt

So this was your big secret

 

[Fels]

My friend and I were talking about marriage and stuff and she said that she wanted to marry her cousins because she could relate to him in many ways

What do you think of this?
(This is a legit question)

[Balqisa]

@World

If you have tested with 23andMe you can check whether your parents are related within the past 10 generations and to what extent.

Mine were not related for over 10 generations and they are from the same sub-clan! Ulta not-inbred.

 

[Cumar]

Nothing wrong with it at all imo but I probably wouldn't go for a cousin.

 

[Gooney112]
