Ja jag har råkat ut för 2 skilsmässor vart gift i 17 år med en thaidam som jag träffade på Volvo sen 9 år med den senaste men för bövelen det går inte och gräva ner sig har 2 flammor på G en från Milano och en från Gambia som jag tror mycket på det är en snäll kille som är hennes storebror och hon verkar klever åker till senegal och köper kläder och säljer i Gambia jag och brodern ska åka dit ner inom 1 2 månader
Clire clire clire, det är tydligen inte bara de thailändska damerna som är luriga.
Vill inte vara taskig på något sätt, men det lyser igenom precis som det gjorde med förra damen, din nyfunne "kompis" snackar givetvis skit om din förra dam för att du skall spendera din pengar på hans "syster", bli nu inte förvånad om det inte är han syster utan hans fru.
Nedan lite info om hemgiften som han påstår inte existerar i gambia.
GAMBIAN CULTURE NOTES
MARRIAGE
Marriages are traditionally arranged by families in The Gambia, although this practice is less frequent among people in the
urban areas. Kola nuts are formally sent by the suitor’s family to the parents of the bride-to-be and, if accepted, the
courtship begins. In Islamic law the parents have no right to marry off their daughter without her consent. The father will
usually consult his daughter and her mother, and if they raise no objections he will give his consent by sharing the kola
nuts with relatives, friends, and neighbors. Large sums of money and kola nuts pass from the suitor’s hands to his fiancee
and her family before the marriage takes place. In the urban areas, the man may offer expensive gifts such as a fancy bed,
wristwatch, radio, or television set. If the suitor is not considered generous enough, the daughter and her mother may
begin to encourage other suitors. In addition, a “bride price” determined by the bride’s parents is paid to the bride and her
family. Once this price has been negotiated, the suitor has the sole right to court the girl. In turn, a dowry is provided by
the bride’s parents. This usually consists of clothing, jewelry, and all the cooking utensils and equipment the bride will
need to set up her new home. Sometimes there are forced marriages even though it is against the will of the boy or girl.
The legal consummation of a Muslim marriage (called “tying the marriage”) is performed by a religious leader in the bride’s
compound in the presence of the father or guardian of both the bride and groom. The couple is usually absent during this
ceremony. After the formal ceremony, feasting, drumming and dancing take place. Wedding guests are expected to
contribute food or money to the couple, the bride’s parents and the griots. If the full bride price has been paid on the
spot, the husband may take the bride back to his compound or village immediately. However, there is usually a delay of
several months between tying the marriage and taking the bride to her new home.
Another ceremony is held at the bride’s compound at the time of the transfer when she is counseled about the hardships
and responsibilities of marriage by the neighborhood elders. A ritual braiding of her hair also takes place, followed by
feasting and dancing into the early hours of the morning. The party then moves to the groom’s house where he has been
waiting for his bride to be formally handed over to him. The next few days involve various rites and ritual feasting marking
the bride’s official membership in the husband’s compound
