Yeah, yeah. I heard Chechen women only marry in Chechnya. [0:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/IVADV2voD5kD/en/why-one-chechen-man-prefers-marriage-within-his-culture?t=5) They don't marry outside. Is that true? Yes, um, and the only- Tell, tell, tell us the w- tell us the wisdom behind that. [0:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/IVADV2voD5kD/en/why-one-chechen-man-prefers-marriage-within-his-culture?t=13) Why do Chechen women only marry Chechen men? [0:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/IVADV2voD5kD/en/why-one-chechen-man-prefers-marriage-within-his-culture?t=16) Uh, you know, the origin is, you know, in the Caucasus, they generally do it. [0:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/IVADV2voD5kD/en/why-one-chechen-man-prefers-marriage-within-his-culture?t=22) They don't marry outside. Mm. And Islamically, you know, the, the ulama said it's, it's not, uh, a duty, but it's better to marry inside the culture. [0:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/IVADV2voD5kD/en/why-one-chechen-man-prefers-marriage-within-his-culture?t=35) You know, there was a quote from Imam Ahmad, I think. [0:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/IVADV2voD5kD/en/why-one-chechen-man-prefers-marriage-within-his-culture?t=38) Not Ahmad. Imam Ahmad, Al-Nawawi, Imam Al-Shafi'i. [0:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/IVADV2voD5kD/en/why-one-chechen-man-prefers-marriage-within-his-culture?t=42) Yeah, no. Malik. All of them, man. Uh, one, one quote, um, someone wanted, uh, someone asked if he should give his daughter to a non-Arab, and he responded, "No." [0:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/IVADV2voD5kD/en/why-one-chechen-man-prefers-marriage-within-his-culture?t=54) Then the other one said- Salam, akhi, akhi, please keep going. [0:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/IVADV2voD5kD/en/why-one-chechen-man-prefers-marriage-within-his-culture?t=57) Uh, yes, keep going. And he said, "Even if she's sick," and he still said no. [1:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/IVADV2voD5kD/en/why-one-chechen-man-prefers-marriage-within-his-culture?t=62) Yeah. Wow. Imam Ahmad said that, akhi? Uh, I'm not sure, but it was, it was a quote from, uh, a scholar from, uh, the Hanbali- The Hanbali school. [1:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/IVADV2voD5kD/en/why-one-chechen-man-prefers-marriage-within-his-culture?t=75) Yeah. Yeah, I'm not surprised, akhi, because statements like that are all over the madhahib. [1:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/IVADV2voD5kD/en/why-one-chechen-man-prefers-marriage-within-his-culture?t=81) But there are some people who are, they're too soft, right? Unfortunately- Yeah ... they don't understand these things, right? [1:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/IVADV2voD5kD/en/why-one-chechen-man-prefers-marriage-within-his-culture?t=90) I get you, man. So you would rather, you would rather that, uh, let's say if you had a daughter, that she would marry a Chechen man? [1:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/IVADV2voD5kD/en/why-one-chechen-man-prefers-marriage-within-his-culture?t=100) Yes. [1:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/IVADV2voD5kD/en/why-one-chechen-man-prefers-marriage-within-his-culture?t=102) And becau- because you want to preserve your lineage and your cultural and social identity, right? [1:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/IVADV2voD5kD/en/why-one-chechen-man-prefers-marriage-within-his-culture?t=108) No, not because of the lineage or the blood. [1:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/IVADV2voD5kD/en/why-one-chechen-man-prefers-marriage-within-his-culture?t=111) Uh, just to avoid conflicts. You know, many, uh- That's true. [1:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/IVADV2voD5kD/en/why-one-chechen-man-prefers-marriage-within-his-culture?t=116) You know, if, if her parents don't speak English, German, or Chechen- So it's, it would be a risk assessment, right? [2:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/IVADV2voD5kD/en/why-one-chechen-man-prefers-marriage-within-his-culture?t=125) Yeah. And the same culture, uh, avoids conflicts. [2:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/IVADV2voD5kD/en/why-one-chechen-man-prefers-marriage-within-his-culture?t=130) You have to- Right. You don't have conflicts, uh, to decide which language your child speaks. [2:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/IVADV2voD5kD/en/why-one-chechen-man-prefers-marriage-within-his-culture?t=137) Hmm. I like that, brother. I, I think it's sad that people, uh, say it's nationalistic and racist, but- I li- I like you, man. [2:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/IVADV2voD5kD/en/why-one-chechen-man-prefers-marriage-within-his-culture?t=146) I li- I like you, man. You know, you know what you're talking about. Yeah. [2:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/IVADV2voD5kD/en/why-one-chechen-man-prefers-marriage-within-his-culture?t=149) You think like this too? [2:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/IVADV2voD5kD/en/why-one-chechen-man-prefers-marriage-within-his-culture?t=151) Actually, I got canceled for this a few days ago. [2:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/IVADV2voD5kD/en/why-one-chechen-man-prefers-marriage-within-his-culture?t=154) Man, that's- I, I, I said, I said, I said this, and they started canceling me and calling me nationalistic. [2:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/IVADV2voD5kD/en/why-one-chechen-man-prefers-marriage-within-his-culture?t=161) Yeah. That's, yeah. Can you believe it? Can you believe they did that to me? [2:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/IVADV2voD5kD/en/why-one-chechen-man-prefers-marriage-within-his-culture?t=166) Juhal, brother. Ah, you know what I'm saying? Not, not everyone. [2:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/IVADV2voD5kD/en/why-one-chechen-man-prefers-marriage-within-his-culture?t=170) Not everyone. Not everybody. That's right. [2:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/IVADV2voD5kD/en/why-one-chechen-man-prefers-marriage-within-his-culture?t=172) No, no. All right, brother. It's a pleasure to meet you, man. [2:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/IVADV2voD5kD/en/why-one-chechen-man-prefers-marriage-within-his-culture?t=174) Brother, as-salamu alaykum. Yeah, as-salamu alaykum. Have a good one, man. [2:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/IVADV2voD5kD/en/why-one-chechen-man-prefers-marriage-within-his-culture?t=176) As-salamu alaykum. You guys heard it from the Chechen Chad himself. [3:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/IVADV2voD5kD/en/why-one-chechen-man-prefers-marriage-within-his-culture?t=181) You guys heard it from the man himself, man.
