Female genital mutilation (FGM) is the ritual cutting or removal of some or all of the external female genitalia, also known as female genital cutting, female genital mutilation/cutting (Genital mutilation), and female circumcision.Gender inequality, attempts to control women's sexuality, and ideas about purity, modesty, and beauty all play a role in this practise. It is usually started and carried out by women who see it as a source of honour and fear that if their daughters and granddaughters are not cut, they will be socially excluded.

FGM is a process in which external female genitalia is removed completely or partially or another injury to the female genital organs for cultural or other non-medical reasons. Initially, I was totally unfamiliar with this term. Still, I can't believe that such practices occur in the modern era. such processes are very harmful as well as painful for the victims.FGM affect health mentally and physically. Such victims are unable to believe in their families. it may cause health complications such as severe pain, haemorrhage, infections, anaemia, urinary retentions and injury to the tissues. And even cause death too.

When I first heard about FGM, my reaction was a mix of disbelief, disgust, anger and sadness regarding this horrendous practice. This is something no one should go through and to think this painful practice is commonly followed in these cultures. Except the obvious intense pain, it can seriously harm the health of the women and young girls like problems in childbirth, during sex and their mental health. This practice highlights the major issue of gender inequality women face all around the world. FGM can lead to death especially when no safety measures are taken during this procedure. Aftermath of this horrible practice causes pain during urinating, menstruating and during sexual intercourse which is often described as rubbing salt to an open wound.

FGM is practiced in many communities around the world. The effects of FGM depend on a number of factors, including the type performed, the expertise of the practitioner, the hygiene conditions under which it is performed. Immediate complications include severe pain, shock, haemorrhage, tetanus or infection, urine retention etc. while Long-term consequences include complications during childbirth, anaemia, the formation of cysts and abscesses. Those who had undergone FGM faced a significantly greater risk of requiring a Caesarean section, an episiotomy and an extended hospital stay, and also of suffering post-partum haemorrhage.

I think female genital mutilation is an unfair act with females. if it was unwanted part then God would never create this. FGM is a kind of injustice with females where against their wish their body part is removed through an unsterile and painful process. It is females right to have sexual desires, no one has the right to take away female rights. males and the family members must need to remember that if females are sexually harassed they are done by male no female is responsible for this. if there is a need to decrease the sexual desire male need to do this.

FGM is a cruel practice of traumatizing young girls. this is practiced in many societies of Africa and bhora community of India as the religious practice . young girls are betrayed by their family members to go under this procedure for non medical purpose. so in my opinion FGM is a cruel practice , that is violation of female right as well as it has a great impact on female mental ,physical and emotional well being . because at a age of 6 to 7 year old a girl has to bear such a painful procedure just because of their religious beliefs and other causes. which lead to massive health problem like bleeding , problem urinating later in life cyst formation , infections. beside this , painful event disturbs both mentally and emotionally . girls who become the victims of this procedure need to accept this practice for no any health benefit. that is the reason the later on suffer from anxiety and depression as well. so such practiced should be eradicated from society because this is only the violation of human rights .

Female genital mutilation or female circumcision. One of the most cruel and unkind atrocity given to a daughter of being a girl or a woman. It is the part of Bohra’s culture whenever a girl become seven years old. She is taken to the midwife who used to cut the clitoris hood letting the girl in extreme pain. Many girls in India have been victims of this cruel practice. Now many of the women rise up voice against this unkind practice.

In my opinion it is very bad practice, it is a crime against girls. Being a Muslim i think there is no any Holy verses for that and not it is permitted in Islam.
Those people who are doing this practice are i think criminals, some orthodox are doing this practice. it is very painful procedure in which part of the genital area is cut by their family members, doctors or midwifes.
Here the question is if Islam teaches us this then it should be also applicable  for male in the society, why it is only for females... males are not special people from God to the earth, we all are equal and also having equal rights.

Females were buried in the past and at present, they became victims of domestic violence, deprived of basic needs, education (with the mindset that their job is just to marry and give birth to a child, there is no need for education), every 1out of 2 become a victim of malnourishment as a result of gender discrimination beside these there are also many believe which torture females mentally as well as physically, I remember that one of my friends told me that she has gone through breast burning practice at her puberty by her family members with the concept to stop breast growth by using a hot object like burning wood or piece of heated cloth, but I was unaware of FGM in which female private part(clitoris)is cut off So that she will not experience sexual desire and be free from sin, however, they ignore its dramatic consequences of pain, extreme bleeding, mental and physical health of their child and maybe loss of libido and fertility and susceptibility to urinary tract infection.

FGM EFFECTS IN HEALTH

FGM is a procedure in which female clitoris is cut off so that she will not experience sexual desires in future and will be protected from sin. The process is extremely painful and
Girls and women who undergo FGM often experience long-term health consequences including scarring, cysts, abcesses and other tissue damage, infertility, and increased susceptibility to infections. They may experience difficulty and pain when they menstruate, urinate or have sexual intercourse. Other than that Women with FGM often show signs of psychological trauma i.e. anxiety, somatization, depression, post-traumatic stress and other mood disorders. Recently, I read about a young girl who had not only been go through FGM but also her vagina was  stitched by her mother during childhood so that her virginity will be secured and she will not involve in any guy or attempt masturbation. Even the worse situation when on her first night of marriage her husband cut off the stitches by the help of his mother and brother and  exposing  her infront of his family.
This practice is extremely non-sense which is done in the name of religion and had become part of some cultures. FGM is destroying one's life, women suffers physically as well as emotionally and interference in a natural process is itself is a sin.

By doing this act to the young girls they not only feel pain as because part of their body is cuted they also suffer from different gynaecological issues( menstruation,painfully intercourse,vaginal infections and many more) ,they also underwent depression,mental disturbance , are psychologically scared and emotionally damaged.
They are not treated as a part of the community and not allowed to attend any ritualistic function if they refuse to undergo the procedure.

After watching this video I feel extremely sorry for all those girls who have gone through such pain when they were so young to play with a doll. This cultural norm disturbed them not only physically but mentally and emotionally too. This norm can cause so many complications for example excessive blood loss, urinary tract infections, difficulty in urination and etc. In many areas of Pakistan there is a cultural norm of feeding newborn baby with ghutti instead of colostrum and it is believed that this ghutti helps in digestion and liver functioning of newborn but unfortunately it works vice versa, however according to researches newborn should be feed colostrum as it is nutrient rich and can boost immune system.

This is practiced as a way to stop woman's sexuality before marriages and people also think that it will ensure girl's future marriage.

FGM is a procedure that is neither mentioned in the Quran nor has any health benefit so why some people are still practicing it. Its physical pain is temporary but what about the psychological effects that remain forever. How a mother or a female can do this with a girl even they have gone through the same. I would suggest that the Government should implement some strict laws for those who involve in such cases. Not only the FGM but there are many other illegal processes through which a woman has to go. Most commonly, control of childbirth. A woman can only be pregnant once a year but a male can make 365 women pregnant per year so why only women are responsible to control childbirth, why not males.

As this procedure is generally done by non-medical personnel and  is usually done in  unsanitary and unsterile conditions it can cause damage to genital organs and surroundings and this can lead to hemorrhage and  infection. Girls who have been through these procedures experiences incontinence, recurrent urinary tract infections in later life. It also   increases risk of infertility.

Many cultures (specially Bohra) practice FGM because they believe that either it is unwanted skin which is source of a sin so it should be cut or it causes so much promiscuity.
