15 racks for meher is ridiculous for someone in qurbaha let alone for a local faarax back home

lool sister, i am not to marriage dee.

there are sisters here, masters degree, bacholrs and family were very stricked so girls not cannot find a husband.

families needs to socielize with other families, so girls and boys can find a husband and wife.

some young man told, eyaal 3aseer girl , if you say , salaam sister, aan is barano... they put them blockl in sociel media accounts

waan hilaamay inaa guurka mucaarad ku aheyd. Haye bal meeshas kasii wad oo isku guuri gabdhaha iyo wiilasha.

like if you dont marry , wad zineysaneysa, like no other option! marka kuwas ban isku goorinaya, inshallah.

meth, i dont know how somalis do it but what i noticed from my relatives; that $10 000 or $15 000, is not only maher. its for woman to spend for wedding (if she wants, jewelary, dahab and her little expenses before the marriage.

we just give the girl's family that amount and that is it. faarah, all he has to do is prepare his house/appartment and furnature it.

Methy that's really low you cheapstake!

[Hyperactive]

idman, why waste your hard earning to none sense like big wedding?

who wants to go broke after marriage???

[Methylamine]

Methy that's really low you cheapstake!

you can buy a BMW or a luxury Infiniti for that much money

Hyper: 15k for meher + wedding + house furnishings is reasonable. But these xalimos are tryna make brothers take out a second line of credit just for one night of bariis and dancing to Somali music

[Hyperactive]

i mean $15 000 for meher, wedding, set dahab, and her small expenses,like clothes etc).

funishing your house is up to you man. bedroom+living room+ dinning room+ kitchen + appliances only can cost over $30 000 $$s. depends how nice you want your house. man, i was like you but now since i am a home owner, things can add up and not haliimo's fault.

things are expensive.

[mahoka]

Soomali women are not worth that. Max $5000. Remember they don't work, they have mutilated ceeb, no experience in sariirta, no other redeemable qualities .

Better for those abroad to go for foreigners

[Hyperactive]

what you mean by no experience is sariirta? you can marry garoop then. mise mid meelaha haraam koso mar martay bad rabta?

[Obscene]

Somali women are too greedy, demanding and materialistic. Those guys should import wives from abroad.

[Idman702]

Hyper 15k for my Meher money. I won't have a big wedding, I will have an intimate gathering with my blood relatives and close friends, then he has to take me to an exotic place for the honeymoon. The 15k money is like insurance, you know when he effs up, I will ask for a divorce.
