Do they cut off a woman's clitoris in female circumcision?

Question

I heard they still do this in Africa.

SEW UP THE VAGINA??? ouch!

Answer 1

You're right. I don't remember why they actually do it. I do remember reading an article about how barbaric it is. i'm sure it's a practice of other countries also.

Answer 2

It is NOT a muslim practice (as the Koran says nothing about it) as only muslims in some parts of sub-saharan Africa do it. It's a CULTURAL practice, made by the male rulers in that region and it's one of the WORST human rights violations in the world, it just has to stop, whenever you meet a somali, sudanese, tchadian, nigerien (the northern Niger not Nigeria), Burkinabe, Malien or Senegalese try to talk about it, it's really a horrible crime against women.

Answer 3

Yes and in a lot ofother countrys,But they do it when they are fourteen and they do it so a woman con never have a orgasm,because thats what happens to woman when they do that,And i think that is sick,They do it so a woman will be faithful to the husband they family has picked for them,and if they refuss they have like a cousin come in and beat them until they say yes!That is Sick! Hollywood!
