I am (Dr. Najjar from DU0 doing research on this subject as one of the social problems that could be studied and dealt with from all of its aspects in an academic environment. I am amazed at how widespread this barbaric practice is still practised in the Gulf and particularly in Dhofar, yet few critical voices are heard against it. I am particularly proud to see you expose it so naturally and bravely. Your heart is in the right place. I am also happy of the reactions to your blog. If you like to answewr me, here is my personal email: najjaribrahim@yahoo.ca. I am sure you have more to say about this problem, and it might be helpful for me to see how effectively we can make people aware of the superstitious, not religious, origin of this criminal act.<br />Yours,<br />IbrahimI.

The only solution is to educated women in general, because when you ask yourself: Whose responsibility is this? You will definitely say mothers,so men don't have anything to do with this,try to solve the matter among yourselves.<br />Try to give some seminars to women to spread the news in order to stop this happening.<br />ThanksSHABUONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08363570707295792415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2311943055243587440.post-16247893622581138992011-06-07T15:29:56.962+04:002011-06-07T15:29:56.962+04:00....
