How DID Nadifa get pregnant?


My understanding of female circumcision is that the hole provided is so small urine can only drip out. So how does a penis fit in?

reply

Believe me, the men will find a way to fit in.
Don't ask me how they do it, but the custom wouldn't have prevailed if the women couldn't have had sex or give birth.

We've been sold a bill of goods regards female circumcision https://thecritic.co.uk/issues/may-2021/perils-of-a-cause-celebre/

I just season 6 2 weeks ago. I understands the nurse's concern when she allowed her kid sister to have the procedure, but it was tradition in her culture. I think there have been rules passed banning it in recent years.

Got it. The woman gets cut open when she marries so the husband can penetrate her. She gets cut open wider for delivery. Then she gets stitched closed again.
