Well, there is even more strange than this. That is, has anyone ever heard a woman taking her husbands name not her own father's name? Yes, in the so-called Oromiya region, some women's father's name is their husbands fathers name. Isn't bizarre, I know many Oromo wives don't take their husbands father name, but this group in the Jimma area do.

29% of married Somali women aged between 15 and 49 are in a polygamous union is absolutely false. Such figure must be the work of an extrapolation based on the fact that Somalis are Muslims and thus assuming that polygamy trends continue or still remain applicable among Somalis, which is not the fact at all.

Among Somalis, its' very rare these days to come across polygamous unions in urban areas, and you don't find anything close to 29% in any rural areas inhabited by Somalis, be it in the Western Somalia, currently under Ethiopian occupation, or anywhere else.

That is why we say....

አማራ የሰውነት የውሃ ልክ ነው....
አማራ ስልጡን ሕዝብ ነው.....
አማራ ቀድሞ የነቃና ባህሉን እንዲሁም እምነቱን ያዳበረ ሕዝብ ነው......
አማራ ራሱን አክብሮ ሃገሩንና ወጉን የሚያስከብር ሕዝብ ነው.....

It is really sad that Amhara live in the sea of uncivilized societies. mind you amhara is the only tribe that was governed by constitution (feteha-negest), government, military, architecture, literature, calendar, chronicles, peotry, art, music, monasticism....you name it. ever since the 1900s century, amhara degraded itself decade by decade because it lives in the sea of uncivilized societies. They all hate amhara because they all feel inferior and had deep rooted inferiority compled and always wish bad for the country amhara created and defended
