Somali men marry Ajnabi Women

[Talo alle udaa]

This brother is a role model. He married this jamaican sister who is a revert to Islam.
Please do not insult people because of the color of their skin or the physical features they were born with. This is un-islamic, especially in the holy month.
I feel between the 2 couples, the sister is keeping the brother in check since he seems laid back.

Everyone has their point of you. What works for someone will not work for others. Culture might take precedence to some people and not others. Just let people do them.

It’s time for Somalis to accept interracial dating. I applaud anyone who seeks love outside the Somali race. Life is too short to worry about the opinions of others. I personally know many Somali men who have married Ajnabi Women ranging from Cadaan, Vietnamese, Greek, Italian, Habesha, Oromo and Arabs. It’s a free for all; all those who fall for the mantra “stick to my own” are left behind in the pursuit of happiness. Love has no boundaries or colour

[Sophisticate]

First off, the world is unfortunately not colour blind. We live in a world that is uncomfortable with ambiguity and feels quite threatened by it. Secondly, marriage has always been seen as a tool of social and economic acquisition.

Sure go for interracial relationship, or stay within your ethnicity the choice is up to you. However, whatever you do don't try to impose your thought on others. For instance my parents are reluctant for me marry someone that isn't from the North. The idea of interracial relationships is quite precarious to them, even though they are both well educated, cultured and well-travelled. It should be noted that women always compare the man they marry to their father. This in no way implies there should be a paternalistic relationship between you and your spouse, however, the father sets the standard for how the daughter expects to be treated by men. In all honesty I have never known anyone more understanding and with plethora of knowledge, experiences than my father. I should add that his close friends were also intellectually engaging, and pushed us (me and my brothers) to think beyond conventional ideas/notions when they used to visit us. Anyway, my father gave me great advice and spoke to me often about everything from politics to popular culture. Since that standard has be set I can't envision a possibility outside of Somali. That is my experience, it in no way is an endorsement of marrying a Somali person or not. Just showing you that different people contextualize the world differently according to their experiences.

If they are happy, who cares what others think.

The first time this video was posted here [in Somalinet] it barely had any comments or much views since it was just newly uploaded, very soon after that some girl leaves a barrage of cay directed towards the Jamaican sister. I believe I know who is behind it [someone from Somalinet] but will not expose her. I hope she has it in her to delete her comments and apologise to the sister. There are millions of Somali men, why should any girl feel threatened if a handful find love elsewhere, surely you can't marry them all.

There is nothing wrong with Somali men marrying Ajnabi women as the kids will still be Somali. The problem starts when Halimos think they bring Congolese,
Nigerian, Ugandan and Jamaican kids back to Somali areas in Africa.

How many hateful words and rambling would this thread have if the guy was Jamaican married to a Somali woman.

Not saying we should start bashing this couple.

[MrPrestige]

It is not the same, as the kids will be Somalis, who effing cares then. My brother's girl is Arab/Yemeni, Somali men have the green light to marry whoever
they want as the kids will be Somali at the end of the day.

[Sophisticate]

People are quite selective with regard to reading statements. Cherry picking isn't cool. I have relatives that are from different backgrounds and family members that have married people from different backgrounds which are quite close. They in fact are strong members of their community and give back via remittance and actually help to build institutions back home. It's not an issue. I just said what works for some people might not work for others, its not a bad thing to have a preference. I must assert that there are numerous cases of successful marriages to people from other backgrounds provided they focus on commonalities and have a strong support system, and stay true to who they are.

Salaam.

People can marry who they want, there is no place for racism or arrogance or backward culture in Islam

[Murax]

Mashallah. Nothing wrong with it at all.

Oh boy.

Why attach so much importance on being Somali? It hardly illicits any feelings of pride these days. Mixed children in the West never ever will choose one parent over another regardless of what primitive paternalistic societies say. They always say their half this and half that. Don't be delusional to think they will proudly proclaim 'Somaali baan nahay'.
