It seems like nowadays among somalis, getting into relationships before marriage is the norm. The only ones who don’t are the super religious salafi types.
So would you support your daughter having a boyfriend before marriage? Because it seems likely that she will have.
Will you be overprotective and force her to end her relationship? Most likely she will be bitter, angry and resent you and will find another boy behind your back.
I think if you have children in the West then you have to accept that your daughter will probably be screwing around before marriage even if she is the hijabi wearing type. Forcing her to be religious in this society just won’t work. She may even call the police on you.
