THE two wives of a Malian immigrant were given suspended five-year jail terms on Monday for having five of their daughters circumcised in 1992 at their home in a Paris suburb. The case was linked with that of Hawa Greou, another Malian woman who was jailed for eight years by a Paris court in February for carrying out ritual genital mutilation on young girls. The practice of excision, which is widespread in Africa, involves slicing off the clitoris so as dampen sexual desire in women and guarantee faithfulness in marriage.
