FGM PRACTICES IN BOHARA COMMUNITY IN INDIA

Abstract

Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is an artistic practice that occurs in several societies and is rehearsed in India by some Islamic groups. The Bohra is one side of Islam in India known for their practice of FGM, with other Bohra sets reported as partaking in practices of FGM as well. The procedure constantly occurs at the age of seven and involves" all procedures involving partial or total junking of the external female genitalia or other injury to the female genital organs.". The process is generally performed by a traditional guru using a cutter or a blade and can range from Type I to Type IV. The consequences of FGM take on a wide range and can gauge from discomfort to sepsis and have also been identified with cerebral consequences, similar as post-traumatic stress complaint. The content of FGM has remained largely controversial and has garnered both support and opposition for the practice due to its roots in artistic and religious practices. transnational sweats have replaced to raise mindfulness on practices of FGM, and cases have been made to ban similar practices in India. In opposition, Dawoodi Bohra women have argued for the procedure, citing their religious and artistic freedoms as means for its authorization. Despite legal sweats to ban FGM practices in India, it has not been honored as current in India and remains legal.
