And he supports Sharif. He is very wise man.

 

As I have said Xiin supports the family cause they support Sherif ,,,, :D:D

Ahmed Muhamed Dore nin caanaha geela caba waa u eegyahay. At 112 wali bahalkii kama liicin. Kuwan qurbaha jooga at 50 ayuu kaga liica oo deedta Viagra iyo wax kale doontaan.

 

 

My advice, raggow caanaha geela ha la ogaado! ;)

But what about if social institutions, religion and culture included, permit such a relationship, and the girl is content with it?

Social institutions and Somali culture (invariably) approve of gudniin and clanism so they're neither here nor there. On the religion, I question the religious knowledge, nay the wisdom, of the person who consummated this marriage. And though I have no textual evidence, I would go as far as say this may not fall within the Sunnah of the rasuul which encouraged the common good and the use of common sense. Neither of these are present here.

 

As for the girl being "content" with it? Adults are content with many horrible things because of their circumstances. Imagine then a child who would face untold sanctions if they refused. A picture also speaks a thousand words, awoowe.

Not a Somali picture, saaxib. Come now, when was the last time you saw a Somali bride smiling in her wedding pictures? This is the accepted pose. :D

 

As for the deen, someone already gave an example of the prophet marrying a nine year old.

 

The clan and FGM are not the same as someone getting married in a xalaal way. Why get outraged because a so called 112 old man married a 17 year old when half of Somalia has old men marrying young girls? The old man is still ALIVE, isn't he? What peculiar rule says he can not seek happiness even if he was dying? As for him being selfish, well, we all are saaxib. Or else none of us would marry by choice or chase pretty and interesting people.

 

The girl herself has done well in a Somalia where the vast majority of men within her age range (and ten years older) are either unemployed or can't afford to get married.

 

Is it about the man dying before her? IN SOMALIA? IN THAT REGION? The chances are even higher if she married a younger man, saaxib. Plus, being a widow is not such a big thing in Somalia anymore.

 

Look at the positives here. Her new man is already married to a few other women, which means he will not be bothering her much. That he's married to other women also indicates wealth. This will probably mean that the girl will have one or two maids doing everything for her and her future children. Though I would not expect the couple to have that many (the man married five wives and only has eighteen children).

 

On the other hand, the girl might have not married this guy and, instead might have tried her luck on the high seas of Yemen or Italy. Poverty has no time for these western moral outrages.

Cara.   

^You don't have a thing for old man smell? To get a whiff of Vicks vapor rub and a hint of death as you lovingly shout "SUBAX WANAAGSAN!" (a little louder please) every morning while admiring his liver spots?

 

Lucky girl probably even gets to trim his nostril hairs!

That's all I can say.

 

Wow.

 

I'm 25 and the idea of marrying a 40 year old man is horrifying to me.

 

Wow.

and you edging to 'senior citizen' status when you hit 30. Yet another xalimoo aging in the qurbo.

 

Though it is perfect legally Shariah wise, I wouldn't advise this. It makes a mockery out of marriage especially if she is healthy and can bare children. What this might be is a case of the girl is sick and no man will marry her off. So Old Jamaa, is generous enough to offer himself, to appease her family and tribe. Its a social deal.

 

Anyways, get over it you old xalimoos.

 

Hey Castro, I haven't seen you post so much Dr. Jeckyll, in one thread since 2006. ;)
