About this episode
This episode discusses the process of marriage in Somali culture, covering everything from falling in love to the wedding ceremony.
We discussed Guur—which means marriage in Somali—and walked through the entire process, from when a couple falls in love, to informing their families, the Hormarin (the formal pre-meeting where the groom's side asks for the bride’s hand), the dowry (meher), and finally the nikkah ceremony and wedding night. Thanks for listening, and until next time—take care! I might have mispronounced the word Guur as I was recording it quickly🤣. My apologies
