Habibi is used between males as a term of endearment. Habibti is the correct term for females.

Africa’s youngest married couple

 

A couple both aged 13 got married in Salahley town, about 60km south of Hargeisa, the capital of the breakaway region of Somaliland in northern Somalia. Hundreds of family members and friends thronged the married grounds as Shaba’n Mohamed and his lovely wife Naima Osman tied the nuptial knot.

 

“I was not thinking that this number will participate in our wedding,” Mohamed with his wife Naima told AfricaNews.

 

"We are not yet aged 14 but I can take the responsibility of my wife by giving her love," said Mohamed.

 

According to Somali tradition, the man must pay a dowry that is equivalent to 100 camels but AfricaNews learned that Mohamed’s family paid only US$270.

 

Barkhad Kariye, an editor of a local newspaper OGAAL in Hargeisa, told AfricaNews that the couple’s story rocked the region.

 

“People are all talking about this event…they were surprise but in the end they liked it,” Kariye said.

 

In April this year about 21 joint weddings took place in Somali’s town of Hargeisa, where the traditional lavish celebrations are increasingly unaffordable at a time of economic slump.

 

That function was arranged by Telsom, a telecoms company that employed all the bridegrooms.
