Dr Dharmasena and Mr Mohamed will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 15 April.

Thoroughly good news.

Thoroughly good news.

Indeed, good news and if found guilty they should be made to spend a long time in prison. I'd like to suggest their balls be cut off, but that would be stooping to their level.

Outrageous

How are we supposed to know if our 12 year old brides are virgins if they have not been sown up


It's a step backwards I tell ya....

Being a child, I found the BBC headline "Two face genital mutilation charges" amusing. It's bad enough having to live with face genitals without someone mutilating them.
