Sister Ameena is totally right.

Somalis families are hard to please, some are Ok i am not saying all of them are but mostly are.

I think the sister who posted this thread wants to get married based on the fact that she believes that she ''loves'' the Somali brother, a love imo which sounds like the ones in movies. Ie. ever-lasting, forever, happily ever after etc. At the end of the day she needs to understand that what makes a marriage work is not just love, but companionship, care, and a lot of give and take etc.

It's very hard, especially in this day and age to be married to someone really young without a career.

Everything I was going to say..

To Anon are you planning to move in with him or live with your family?
Many young people who cannot afford moving in together, get married but live with their families.
Do you think your mother will be ok with this? So you can finish your education until he is fully able to provide..

Anyways age is just a number but please make sure your family is ok and happy for you to marry, or comprimise with them maybe get marry when you turn 17, 18 perhaps?
