She had braved all odds to be in school. Now she was a lawyer and uncircumcised. When, for the umpteenth time, there was an attempted rape on her, she returned to her roots to appease both the living and the dead through circumcision as well as make it difficult for potential rapists to get at her.
Shortly after this irreversible operation, she met and married a man from another ethnic group, an ethnic group that did not want their wives circumcised and stitched up like chicken pudding.
