Wa Salaam Bro... WELCOME to SOL. Happy nomadhood!

Khayr, Walaalo, I usually agree with and respect your opinion but I have to disagree with you here. I'm not a calam, neither do I profess to know a great deal about Islamic Law...however, I know that without the permission of the girl, a marriage is null and void. SHE CANNOT BE FORCED TO MARRY AGAINST HER WISHES FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER. I'm sure with your knowledge of diinta, you are aware of this fact. Rashida, I'm sorry for you walaalo. Like the nomads before me said, that is a very hard position to be in. My personal thoughts are that, I'm sure your father loves you and only wants the best for you. He may feel betrayed by ur older sister's actions and may not want you to take after her. This may be why he wants you to marry. However, I believe you are very young. I have a sister your age, and although girls mature faster than boys, I don't believe a 15-year-old girl can handle the complexities of an adult relationship and marriage. I think the best way to approach this problem (from my point of view) is to think thru your options very thoroughly....and make a decision. After that, sit down with and earnestly talk to your father. Tell him about your fears and reservations, share with him what is going on in your mind and what decision you have come to finally. Try to sincerely make him understand where you are coming from. That is the best I can offer you, altho I know it is not much. Insha'Allah, it will turn out well for you. I wish you the best darling.

Oh my days! LooooooL!!! Cruel Professor!

LoL...reminds me of that Sangub ruwaayad...the bit about ugly women becoming beautiful coz they went thru "warshad" cadeysa oo qurxisa when they got to Canada!

LoL!!

LoL...cruelly funny! "If they can send a man to the moon - why can't they send them all?" I use to have this ^ one on ma key-ring a while ago. Used to make some of my friends mad!

Originally posted by Xalimo7: Ladies i am going to throw the towel off, did you hear that one of the best Hospitals in the nation HCMC(Hennepin County Medical Ctr) is quoted from saying that , what on earth is happening to the SOmali Teens? they are having more abortion then any other Minority in the state of Minnesota, they asked the leaders of the somali community to put this maddness to an end. I see no one is questioning whether Xaliimo's claim is genuine or not. Precisely what kind of Hospital will make such a statement? Not only is there something called patient confidentiality (specially when it comes to abortion. Even your family doctor doesn't have to know if you've had an abortion. Unless the girl gives her permission, no abortion clinic will ever reveal any information), but the hospital would also be liable for any and all the lawsuits that will come swinging their way. Xalimo7...if you insist on putting up such a topic, at least make sure your information is accurate. Also...lets say, if for any reason, that Hospital did make such a statement, please be good enough to post the quote, or give a link to the website you got it from.

I like Opinionated's signature... **Disclaimer: Posting under the influence of strong opinions** Also Ameenah's old one...can't remember fully...about reality slapping her on the face and it was time to pay back such rudeness. LoL...That was a good one!

Since you find it sexually arousing, maybe we should start referring to u as 'naayaa'. I understand being referred to as a female is a fetish for some men.

Originally posted by Nin-Yaaban: ...Is that true? Are you allowed to hit your wife, if she doesn't listen? ...Dumarka mar mar waa eey u baahan yihiin inla tumo. ...It was only just 5yrs ago, that women were all accepting of the idea of beating your wife ...All of a sudden, beating your wife is wrong, just because a GAAL preached you that way? Nin-Yaabin... WoW! Qoritaankaaga waxaa ka muuqda inaad tahay wiil si fiican u yaqaana diinta iyo dhaqankeenaba. Runtii aad iyo aad bey kaaga muuqataa inaad cilmi badan leedahay. True that wives need beating. Actually all women need to be beaten...why should you wait to get married to have that pleasure? I say try it on the next xaliimo you see on the street. PS: Make sure you are carrying bail money first tho...you probably won't need to use it (the police will probably pat you on the back)...but just in case.

late birthday wishes!

Yeah...that's what I thought too.

Alla! The first American to make sense! Maybe all hope isn't lost for that country. Good article.

Well Somalis have always travelled haven't they? 1915 is fairly recent actually. They have been travelling all over the world for centuries...whether for trade or whatnot. If your plane crashes at Antartica...u'll probably find fellow Somalis there, iyaga oo dhaqanay reindeer, snow buffalos or something similar. :rolleyes:

Originally posted by Lakkad: Barwaqo-am not dirty minded.... LoL...not to worry, you are among a distinguished number of like-minded ppl. Somalidu wey jecelyihiin inay hadalka badalaan. MMA told me a really hilarious story about something similar the other day...am gonna see if I can get his permission to post it on here.

UD... It's been moved to the Islam Forum.

MIZZ UNIQUE, Romford Road is very long...do you know which station is nearest to Deanery Road?

That is a wonderful reminder. Thank you.

Oh that is scary...almost all of the signs are the norm in today's world. :eek: "A man will leave his home and his thigh or hip will tell him what is happening back at his home (Ahmad)" I wonder what this could mean...mobiles? Pagers?

LOOOOOOOOOL!! Hehehehehe....I haven't heard of anything like that happening...you sure its true suban?

Originally posted by underdog: Or....You could just dress responsibly and have your husband/brother/father take you where you need to go. Well, one can be dressed responsibly and still get attacked, don't u think? Anyways, having a husband/brother/father with you isn't a bad idea, it is just impracticle...for me anyways. I don't have a husband, I don't have any brothers...the only male in my family is my father...who isn't able to take me to uni or work everday and bring me back. See where I'm going with this? "If you're one of the "independant", "I don't need a man", "feminist", "I have a right to do what I want when I want" women, you may have to face this predicament alone." Maybe...but then whether we are any of the above or not, sometimes if not most times, we are forced to fend for ourselves. So rather than relying on someone else, I much prefer to put my faith in Allah and do what I can for myself...meaning learn to defend myself.
