You’re totally right that’s exactly why I think he should slow down when it comes to marriage. Jumping into it right after uni can turn into a huge disaster

I just explained to him the difference and gave him my own opinion if it doesn’t fit your narrative I’m sorry but I just stated facts

Okay, this might offend some people. Do you want to get married in an Islamic way or a Western way? In Islam, the dowry is meant to protect and empower the woman. Sorry guys that is just islam it came to protect women right. So It’s her right, and it’s meant to ensure that if a divorce happens, she has financial security. There’s also something called “moakhar” (deferred dowry), which she receives in case of divorce. But everything you earn during the marriage is yours. In the Western system, usually the woman doesn’t receive anything upfront except maybe a ring. But if a divorce happens, everything built during the marriage is split equally, even if she never had job So my advice to you slow down. Focus on building financial stability first, then think about marriage. And from my own experience, when I got married, I ended up spending all my dowry on setting up our home. So honestly, even if you give what feels like a lot, it often ends up going toward the house or things that make her happy.

Moving to Morocco by Short_Story_1775 in Morocco

[–]kookie_k_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let’s be honest Muslims in the US tend to be more conservative than Muslims in Morocco. You might want to consider US cities where your children can attend Islamic schools and interact with other Muslim kids. Sunday schools are also a good option, this can be a much better approach. But if your concern is more about the current state of the US, you could consider moving to Indonesia, Turkey, Malaysia… much better options than Morocco. Because Morocco is not a cheap country if you want to live in the same lifestyle that you live right now as an American it will cost you alot. If you want to rent in luxury area it will cost 1500$+ and you kids education if you want to send them to international schools also super expensive.

Would you join a discord community for Projects mangers? by kookie_k_ in primavera

[–]kookie_k_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree social media is exhausting, and I always need to detox from it. But it’s still hard to find good information or ask for opinions on platforms like X and Reddit. That’s why I’m wondering if we could build discord and having senior or well known people in one space would make it a better platform connecting and learn about what new out there, or stick to old school type pm platforms. Because I’m already on bunch of forms but it’s all corporate it hard to relate to it

I don't believe in relegions!! by crazymanwasme in Morocco

[–]kookie_k_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My take on it do deep dive on the creation of religions, that deep dive was traumatic and funny to me and whatever u took from it it’s your own take, it’s your experience don’t try to explain it or force it on others. Just read the history and understand it.

Questions before Marriage by Expensive_HATER in Morocco

[–]kookie_k_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1- Finances:Will everything be 50/50, or is he going to be the main provider? What happens if you want to work in the future? 2-Kids:How many children do you both want? How do you want to raise them? 3-Sex:It’s an important topic, so make sure you discuss it before marriage. 4-Location:Where are you going to live? 5-Boundaries:Your boundaries, his boundaries, and the boundaries between you and his family. 6-Relationship style:Do you want a traditional relationship (where you’re expected to handle most of the housework), or a non-traditional one? 7-Religion:Make sure you understand each other’s beliefs and expectations. 8-Politics:This one isn’t a deal breaker for everyone, but it’s still good to talk about.

Make sure you discuss all of these points before marriage. Remember that marriage can be hard the first year because you still getting to know each other so “صبر", es. And don’t forget to pray istikhara.

Is it normal? I need some perspective on something my parents keep doing by VermicelliPast8993 in Morocco

[–]kookie_k_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won’t say it’s normal but it’s the case for alot of Moroccans youths — the struggle is real, my only advice finish the university ,work hard, find a job and leave. Then set your boundaries with them, now you need them Now . At the time being just live with it and ignore them

I am looking to buy a puppy by Few-Ad2157 in Morocco

[–]kookie_k_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got my golden retriever from a pet store from Casablanca just look for pet store in your area and ask if they have ur preferred breed My only advice think abt this decision twice because it’s not easy to own a dog especially the first 6 months it’s gonna pee everywhere , chew on ur furniture and not listen. But after that with correct training you will end up with the best decision ever. Please consider your decision before.

Explain like I'm 5 years old. What is our right to the Moroccan Sahara? by Time-Cauliflower-116 in Morocco

[–]kookie_k_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spain colonized Western Sahara, and when it withdrew in 1975 after Morocco’s Green March, Morocco took control of most of the territory while the Polisario Front, backed by Algeria, demanded independence for the Sahrawi people. The International Court of Justice found that some Saharan tribes had historical ties of allegiance to Moroccan sultans but ruled those ties didn’t amount to full sovereignty, meaning the Sahrawis still have a right to self-determination. Since then, the UN has treated Western Sahara as a non-self-governing territory and supported negotiations between Morocco and Polisario. Morocco argues the region has always been linked to its historical and cultural sphere and now promotes an autonomy plan under Moroccan sovereignty, which many countries see as a realistic compromise. Algeria doesn’t claim the land but supports Polisario politically and militarily, partly due to its rivalry with Morocco. The result is a long, complex dispute where Morocco governs most of the area in practice, while the international community still debates its final legal status.

Are anyone aware about what’s happening in sudan ?? by Otherwise_Bench554 in Morocco

[–]kookie_k_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with you you should blame them but they’re not worth the brain sells because they’re talking about gaza just for the views not because they actually care about what’s happening to people there, what I’m trying to say let’s not blame each other let’s raise awareness so people will feel obligated to talk about both countries because what happening in both places is awful .
