Women are treating like animals.

Ref: Bohra women go online to fight circumcision trauma. H.T. News 9/12/11.

Dear Sir,

We are living in 21^st century where women are the sculpture of modern society, but still we treat women like the servant and imposed our ideology on them. This is with regards to a practice of “circumcision” ‘khatna’ on women of Bohra community. Bohra community is followers of Islam and their all ruts and practice are Islamic.

Circumcision on women does not have any Islamic value. Certainly this is man made practice to adopt. Women are the soft and feeble members of the society and such type of brutal and inhuman treatment on woman is beyond understanding especially which does not hold any religious, legal and medical value.

In Islam nowhere in Quran mentioned about practice of woman circumcision neither that practice had been performed at the time of Prophaet. Islam is a religion which do not allow to harm ourself or others without any legitimate or genuine reason.

Circumcision on male is a mandatory practice, and it is according to the Sharia Law at the time of Prophate era, which is proved by the Medical Science after a long gape of origin of Islam and Medical Science that the panis cancer is high amongst the persons who does not have circumcision. Medical point of view it is important to have circumcision of panis to avoid squamous cell cancer or Penis cancer. Because normally even after clear all the dirty particles some sperm, urine particles rested on the foreskin of the panis, which on later stage convert into Signorinas and swelling in panis and ultimately cause the panis cancer.

Smegma, a cheese-like, foul-smelling substance found under the foreskin of the penis may increase the risk of penis cancer.

Bohra schlor or reformers should rectify and abolish such types of barbaric, painful, agoniel act on bohri women and treat them as their companion but not their salves.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,
