Let me ask a stupid question. What’s the percieved purpose of this female circumcism?
Depends who you ask. It is ostensibly to take away or reduce sexual pleasure ... it is supposed this will cause women to be more faithful to their husbands.
The logic of this escapes me. If you cannot have sexual pleasure at all, a new lover wouldn’t help matters.
Specifically, it is done to make the girls more marriagable.
