what happens to the girls when they get married .
First celebrations are in full swing. Typical Somali wedding continues 7 days back home. She is prepared by aunties. Henna is applied and her body rubbed with things like Tumeric. She is treated like a star
Brand new clothes dozens really . Gold is major in our community. Husband to be must pay for everything. Aunties but her gifts . Many will bring gifts. Itd an amazing display of beautiful celebrations. The girl is told about Sex and how she should let her do
Whatever he wants . She is told , you are his now and you must obey everything he say and do everything he asks. You will be given so perfumes to put on to smell.super sexy. But the biggest secret is how horrific sex is going to be for her
That part again is told. She will find out how horrific and traumatic sex is going to be
You can hardly urinate or memstruate. The hole is super tiny. Yet you will be penetrated
If you are lucky ,you will be opened before the wedding night. Then it could be your cutter

Coming back to open . Can you imagine that. Or you might be taken http://to.hospital to be opened. Mostly they do that. Girl is ripped apart during sex. For next 7 days After the 2 night. Relativescome next morning to see if she was a Virgin. The bed would soaked in blood.
Remember she will be in so much a pain some end up with infections and hospitalised . The wedding is a nightmare for her in the first 7 days. Some husband can't penetrate so she will end up in the hospital .
Can you imagine a flesh that is sewn together and forcefully opened . It rips badly . My cousin was hospitalised for month, I didnt get to see her. When she came back ,she told me how cruel it was been married . I remember curling up and thinking. Dear God please
Don't let me suffer again. On the 7th day after the wedding. Women come to celebrate her womanhood. They sing and dance around her by saying how she has become a woman. Most of the girls are visibly helped to walk .I didn't understand why was that .until I grew older
And started to understand. The trauma that girls experience during sex is horrific .millions hate sex . Millions feel robbed . Millions villioated for the sake of controlling our sexually. We womenband girls target just because we are that
