Because that wasn't written as a theory, My Dear Basra, that was experience. And THATS what I liked! 8-)

Keyse,

Wallahay I feel sorry for you. Ma is tidhi 'Daarood owns you? They basically own you, if you have to mention their name in every sentense you write, if you have to bring their name if the sky is discussed.... :arrow:

Waaba ku yeesheene...Acuudu Bilaah :down:

Waar is xoree...sidani nolol maahee...Daarood this Daarood that..Subaxaana Allaah.... :!:

So at what point does the beating the shit out of ur bride take place? does this take place after u mate with her or is she already unconscious by the time get on her?

Two days before the wedding night.
The rule is she has to be tied up under a tree in the jungle. She must be given 50 or more harsh lashes and then left in the dark all alone.
The risk is that what if a lion comes and devours her? His responsibility is too keep a vigilant eye on her while she endures hours of pain and loss of blood.

It sounds shocking and fictional but the practice exists.

50 shabuug ah...bisinka ... :lol:

...

Waaba sheeko cusub.

Basra, walee inaad naag waalan tahey. :lol:

I have to admit I was excited too.

Helwaa, you and young surrender, will learn new things everyday. Keep posting.

BaasAbuur, women beating used to be common pratice in Sanaag long time ago. Xasan Xayle talks about that in his peom composed in 1896.

Most of what they wrote is the truth and it exists although, we hope that we get over it one day.

In some cultures when the guy marries a girl he sends her to the Geel Jire till she gets pregnant only after that she comes back.

In others, when a visitor comes to house in which the husband is away he puts a spear ( ka taagaa) infront of the hut which means a man is there so the husband should not disturb.

In another culture, when a girl is married, the guy hides his shoe and he tells her to search for it if she didn't find he it he beats her even though he is the one who hid it.

Iskusoo wada duubuu meesha kii haween ahaa ayaa ku ba'ay

Flabbergasted.. Kambuli, thanks for the clarification. You shed more light into this thread.

This goes on now? Surely not in a supposed Islamic country! That's it. I am joining Al Shabab to rid Somalia of such foolish traditions.

Heh@Basra daydreaming about stone age sex.

My Grandmother was killed by Her Husband I guess by accident. He wacked Her on the Hand and She got an infection and then later on died.

Is that why you refer to him as 'her Husband' instead of saying grand dad? :mrgreen:

Allah yerxamha.
