    Female circumcision is performed usually to prevent intercourse and thus preserve virginity before marriage. It involves the stitching-up of the vagina to physically prevent penetration. In more extreme cases, I have heard that the inner labia is also removed. Often practiced among traditional African tribes and other groups, it is usually performed on young girls at puberty. The agony it inflicts on the grls (there is usually no anesthetic) and the risk of death has led to many governments outlawing the practice. However, the operation is often held as essential to tribal honor and continues to be practiced on millions of girls every year.
