When you propose to a girl, are you going to do it like back home or are you going to do it like most people?

[Insomniac]

Back home? How do they do it? Got to her dad and offer cattle? I don't know if I have cattle. How do most people do it? Go to her dad and offer money? Tbh I don't even see myself getting married but if it did happen, I would probably buy her from her dad.

Bro, Sheekhals kidnap the wife, and then force the fathers to negotiate caadi ma aha, I went to a wedding back home, and they told me the guy kidnapped her I was like it was awesome

[Insomniac]

That's Kazakhstan dude. I think I watched something like that on Vice. Besides, I am not Sheekhal, I am Afar Qooble, I break into my future wifeys home in the dead of the night and kidnap her.

[SultanOrder]

come off, we both know that is Mark who is going to break in and devour her let alone marry her.

I watched that on vice too. It's just tradition especially in galbeed, but this one the girl consents and it's preplanned. You can't get her otherwise.

[Insomniac]

Are you pulling my leg? I have to plan a kidnapping with the person I am going to kidnap? Ours is a rich culture mate.

[SultanOrder]

Bruv, you'll get killed if you really kidnap her and then go to the father and your like "look mate, I got your daughter and I'm going to marry her, so please consent". It aint going to work

I read about that happening in some Kenyan cultures as well so was well surprised when I found out some Somalis do it as well. The girl has to put up a convincing fight.
