A Somali Woman. [Photo/nation.co.ke]
someone said that dating is a tricky business.
That said, dating a Somali woman is not like dating any other woman.It requires tack.
The first rule of thumb is that you must be a Muslim for you to date a lady of Somali extraction although not all Somali women are Muslims but the majority are.
If you profess another religion other than Islam, it would be very difficult, near to impossible for you to date a Somali girl.
You cannot express your love in public like holding hands or kissing or hugging in public as you would do with other girls.
That is a cultural taboo that would attract condemnation.
You are not allowed to have sexual intercourse when she is menstruating.
When you have an intention of dating her, you should inform her parents before you embark on anything else so that they can give their consent, unlike with other girls where you date and later on inform the parents.
Come we stay arrangements are criminalised in Somali culture.
You have to do things in a certain way.
