This is the practice of excising the clitoris and labia of a girl or woman and stitching together the edges of the vulva to prevent sexual intercourse. It is the complete scrapping of the vagina and stitching it together to prevent the girl from having sex.

The vagina is sealed leaving a small hole for the girl to menstruate or urinate.

The girl's legs are tied with rope for days so that the wound can heal. It usually takes 15 to 40 days for the wound to heal. During this period the girl's legs remain tied and she is prevented from moving.

Basically, the stitches are meant to be reopened by her husband on the wedding night so he can have sex with her.

Imagine someone opening stitches and immediately having sex with her.

Just imagine the pains, I mean serious pains!! Imagine the traumatic experience, the pains the girl will go through.

Is it not better to allow her decide if she will marry as a virgin or not than to do this?

During childbirth, many women have to be cut again because the vagina opening is too small for the passage of the baby.
Imagine someone opening stitches and having sex with her lickety-split.

THE WORST THING IS THAT THIS IS DONE TO WOMEN BY WOMEN IN AFRICA !!! According to research, it is also practiced in North America, Australia and New Zealand. It's disheartening

Girls do not deserve this ill-treatment for being girls.
It's not a crime to be a girl child.
