it's a tough situation where you have dependants who don't want their parents/caregivers to get in trouble for this practice... but I cannot tolerate this practice in any situation without a valid medical reason (ie: a life threatening situation). Her parents are also victims of this abhorrent tradition if they believe it is necessary, but that does NOT excuse them for subjecting their daughters to this...
Does anyone know what religious belief necessitates FGM? Not just the religion, but the specific REASON it's done... are there any others than removing sexual pleasure and trying to prevent adultery (thought it doesn't do anything to prevent the husband from committing adultery, does it?)
