The weirdest cases I've noticed in the UK is that a Somali girl would get married to a non Somali (only Allah knows if they are actually Muslim) and she would be happy and content with a small nikkah and a £10 family value chicken and chips BUT IFFFF they were to marry a Somali they would demand a RING, 50k wedding, honeymoon and rinse the brother out.
And they would demand the Somali brother to be good looking with drake features and so on but when man like Roger comes along with his beer belly they are so content

Let's keep it one hunned now..
The days where a Somali guy living in the UK would work 2 jobs just to give his wife to be a banging wedding and a expensive meher are really and truly over. Hilton and Shereton hotel bari hore ayay ka baxeen and every Faarax is basic and just rents out a cheap hall.
They tell their wives to go to their local council, make up a lie about how she married a Polish man and how her family have disowned and kicked her out the house just so she can get a council house and they can move in together and avoide renting an apartment.
Hadaa they work and all! Gaajada tihiin u go' ah.
Ajanabi or not, most reero UK ga dagan are living a gaajoo life.
Nothing wrong living in council house/flat - it is too expensive to rent privately - there is no shame in. Now to get a council is very hard so if they tell little white lie to get on list or get their application moved quickly -oh well... there is no evidence to support such accusation.
Seriously- Somalis are very realistic - they know they are not gonna live in the west forever - so they save their money and invest elsewhere.
And paid council rent and council tax £600 - if they were renting privately they would be paying £1500+ a month rent alone - so who's the fool.
Big weddings are just waste - there was a man who sent over £20,000 and divorce within months - what's the point.
The woman who marry non Somalis are usually divorcee who had the big wedding and don't value that any more - they want just bit of company/fun and I don't blame them.
