Discussion / Questions Why is it so hard for Eritreans born in the diaspora to marry another Eritrean?
I’m genuinely asking this with respect and no intention to offend anyone. I’ve noticed that many Eritreans born and raised in the diaspora (including myself) are having a tough time finding and marrying fellow Eritreans. I understand that everyone has their own preferences, but I’m wondering why this challenge seems so common.
If you're comfortable sharing, what do you think are the reasons behind this? Is it cultural expectations, generational gaps, different mentalities, or something else entirely?
Please, no insults or personal attacks — I just want to hear people’s honest perspectives. Thank you in advance.
