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
