From the story, we know about creepy ritual rites and traditions that excite the imagination. For what only people will not go for religious beliefs, superstitions and prejudices. It remains only to rejoice that we live in the modern world, where such atrocities do not have place. But in fact, our world is not so sinless and, even though it is difficult to imagine, but still there are rites capable of shocking.
Terrible female circumcision procedure
Women's circumcision is a fairly widespread ritual in South Africa. Its essence consists in the removal of external genital organs - small and large ingun lips, the clitoris and the narrowing of the entrance to the vagina. Most often it is carried out to girls up to 15 years.
The name "circumcision" is borrowed from male circumcision. As you know, Judea and Muslims cut to men with extreme flesh in early childhood. This operation is quite understandable for medical testimony. With the help of cutting up of the foreskin, men are exposed to the head of the penis and microbes are not accumulated under the skin of the extreme flesh.
That circumcision, which makes women, has nothing to do with medicine. This "procedure" is made not in hospitals, and not medical personnel. Most often, this rite is carried out shamans, evacor, healers, etc. That is, no matter what sterile conditions is not a question. Even the scalpel or knife can replace glass fragments or hot metal objects.
Types of female circumcision
Several varieties of female circumcision are distinguished:
- Sunna - removal of the skin around the clitoris. This is the most humane view of the circumcision of women. The followers of Islam claim to be done so that the woman can experience more sexual satisfaction.
- Excius - removal of the clitoris, small and large sexes.
- Infibulation - the escape of the vagina in the vagina using the creation of a ring of small and large germ lips.
- Clitoriodectomy - removal of the clitoris. This is the most frequent look of female circumcision.
Causes and consequences of female circumcision
After such a ritual, it is possible, trite, die from blood loss and pain. Not to mention infections and tetanus. Sometimes girls after the "procedure" can not pur over. In addition, due to the scars, the entrance to the vagina and the menstrual blood can not be released.
Even if the girl survives after such barbaric intervention, severe psychological trauma is provided.
It is difficult to imagine and logically explain why people do it. It would seem that in the 21st century, these rituals are not just not appropriate, but also contradict all human rights. Nevertheless, religious beliefs are a serious thing. Muslims spend this rite to increase the sensitivity of women and increase their sexual pleasure.
In African countries, it is believed that if a woman has a clitoris, it is inclined to break down and messy sexual relations, so no one will take no circumcision woman in his wife. Also believe that if in childbirth the child will touch the clologist of the woman, he will immediately die, and if he is survived, it will be damned. To hear that "your mother is uncircum" in African countries. A terrible insult.
In addition to circumcision of large and small sexy lips and the clitoris, girls are sewn entrance to the vagina to save elasticity for the spouse. When the girl comes out to marry, it is simply anew to make a hole of the vagina so that the sex contact is possible.
Again, about men here thought more than about women. The narrowing of the entrance to the vagina is made also in order for after the birth, the vagina did not lose elasticity, and the husband could receive more pleasure. For some reason, no one thought that under such conditions it was much more difficult to give birth and more.
In North Nigeria, they simply believe that women's genitals are not beautiful, so they are removed.
In medical terminology, "female circumcision" is categorically refuted. Such operations are proposed to call "injury female genitals."
Having learned such facts, I want to think that it was just terrible fairy tales. In fact, it happens in our time and with real people. It makes no sense, and even more so beneficia, nor for health, nor for society in women's circumcision is not, therefore, all these rituals should be considered as customs of a patriarchal society, where the woman is trying to make a submissive and put a man at level below.
