Shirib,
In Somalia, people used to do something called "khudbo siro" i.e. "Secret marriage"...the man and woman secretly do the nikaax without the knowledge or consent of the girl's father, this is illegal nikaax. Another type was running off together to another city and getting married with the knowledge of the girl's father, but without his consent, again illegal nikaax. People think they can cheat the religion.
