two of my Senegalese male friends in my school already have children

CAMNEWTON4PRES:
good question

I don't know, I find it disgusting and I get annoyed when I see a young guy have a child out of wed lock compared to a young girl

That's a generalisation......

That's a funny statement

I've noticed it too and there's nothing annoying about it. In fact, I plan to get married as soon as G-d blesses me with the required resources.

CAMNEWTON4PRES:

Yeah, a follower of Kabbalah and Jewish mysticism to an extent.

He is your age maybe slightly older

if you have achieved your educational goals, financially sustained with gainful employment, then what else are you waiting for. you can get married and have all your kids, for a less stressful future- so why waste time doing virtually nothing..... (that is the point of view for many)

See CameroonPride/Camnewton4pres, I'm not the only Fulani man out there with this thought process, there are others out there with this mindset as well.

Be careful about stereotyping. I know Senegal extremely well and there are a lot of Senegalese men who don't get married until after 30 years old. It is true that the Peul/Fula get married a bit earlier than the Wolof people but for men there is really no pressure to get married until they are in their early 30s.

Hahaha I no laf sha

To prevent fornication I guess ...

Kyase:

Well said

even the educated muslim women dont marry too early

educated muslim women are more focused and driven than the men

they wail till they finish school and probably settle down before getting married

this is nonsense
the only old hag educated muslims are the ones pursuing western imperialism agenda like "gayism", anti-polygamy, democracy(whatever that means)...etc in few words they have lost contact with their society or the reality of their society hence why they can't find their perfect and so called western oriented prince "charmant" who will free her from her self imposed bondage. those women an b founded in Iran, Egypt, syia . in African muslim societies? no
still if you dig a lil bit you will find out that they have already been in a previous marriage

datalossvictim1:

makes sense tho I still believe/think education or high moral upbringing is the key against fornication

Onila is a generalizer...lol
Ok, so you don't know that there are many other Ethnic groups in Africa that marry early irrespective of religion...... the only thing is that many of the ethnic groups that have been historically known for early marriages are found in the Sahel-Sahara, East Africa and Mediterranean Africa.
On the flip side, there are many Muslims, especially men, who marry late.

I don't necessarily agree. What I do believe is that everything should be practised in moderation, some may disagree but even Islam which is beautiful should be practised in moderation.

I believe the focus of most people should be self-amelioration. Advances in medicine, technology, and infrastructure should be the goal of many a nation irrespective of their religion. Most people regardless of religion think this way. Often what I have noticed is that countries that are typically considered destitute focus on religion moreso than other things. In a failed leadership/government, I can understand why. But one can't say that Muslims seeking Westernisation aren't educated.

In the days when Timbuktu had reached its pinnacle, there were many educated Islamic scholars and those coming to West Africa (Timbuktu) for education.

well it is done to prevent Zinah which is having sex outside of wedlock. The other component is having children outside of wedlock. Parents fear that the temptation will be strong enough to push them to it which is true to some extent.
In Fulani culture, if an unmarried girl has a child, the shame belongs to the whole family. To avoid that, the parent try to get the girl married early on.
With western culture, people started waiting for their early thirties , this applies to educated ones of my father's generation. But today, marrying at young age is coming back. By young age, I mean 23 to 28 years. If you have your college degree , started building your career, why wait ? Unless you just want to go to the clubs , pick up chicks and be a player till you hit 35. Then by the time you first child graduates college, you will be in your early sixties or late fifties with all of your savings going into financing their education. But if you have your kids young, by the time you are 45 they will be independent and you can save enough to take your lady wherever she wants.

PS: I am not married yet, I was hoping to get a Fulani girl from Adamawa (Cameroon or Naija) but it seems like Fulaman isn't well connected.
