This never happens in western society but I believe it still exists in parts of Africa to ensure that the female remains a virgin. It is of course a criminal offence and the people who carry out this procedure should be locked up.

As we all live in this society, it is necessary that we should respect it. Regarding circumcision in females, it is done sometimes as a religious act or a pure medical problem. As both men and women, have this circumcision. But the men's problem is not much highlighted in the society when compared to women. We should respect that circumcision done for women should be given respect, and should be allowed to enjoy her life freely.

It has nothing to do with religion.
It's a physical correction made to the body to enjoy sexual pleasure corrctly. for some females, the clitoris will be buried inside the fleshy skin. this is a common surgery in the western countries and is hardly known to most of the people in our societies. ( I really don't know the exact name of the surgery )
