In Somalia, a young man gets married between the ages of 17 and 18

 In Somalia, a young man gets married between the ages of 17 and 18. If he reaches the age of 20 without getting married, then at this time the elders of his tribe will speak against him because he will cause shame and insults among other tribes.

 A young man in Somalia has the freedom to choose his first wife without anyone saying a word to him.

 If his wife gives birth to the first child, then his mother will choose his second wife.

 In Somalia's tradition, a man will celebrate his 30th birthday by marrying his 3rd wife.

 He must marry the 4th wife before he reaches the age of 40. They think it is a shame that a man reaches the age of 40 and does not marry 4 wives.
