Somalis are part of Kenya’s population and are mostly found in North Eastern counties like Garissa, Wajir, Isiolo, and Mandera.
They are also found in other areas across the country.
Just like other communities, Somalis are very strict with matters culture and especially religion.
The Somalis also have strong beliefs on dressing.
Somali women, men, and children dress differently.
The dressing is more strict for women.
In Somali culture, married women and unmarried women don’t wear the same.
Here is how to differentiate between a married and unmarried Somali woman.
Married Somali women tend to wear headscarves referred to as ‘Shash’.
Married Somali women also cover their upper body with a shawl known as ‘garbassar’.
Unmarried Somali women, on the other hand, do not always cover their heads with scarves.
However, it is a must for these women to wear long dresses that cover their bodies.
In Somali culture, married women don’t put on a lot of bungles and paintings as the case is with unmarried women.
However, all Somali women are required to put on hijabs to cover their faces.
