This is a true life story of a dedicated EBer. Your sincere and honest opinion counts…

I am a Nigerian lady engaged to a Dutch man who insists we would not circumcise our male kids. He is of the opinion that the act is “very wicked and hurtful”, and feels it is medically unnecessary and violates the child human rights.

I am from the eastern part of Nigeria to be precise and a Christian who is also from a strong Christian background and believes strongly in the significance of circumcision. This is a great dilemma for me as we love each other so much and want to spend the rest of our lives together.

But then, I can’t tell my parents that we won’t be circumcising out male kids. I can’t even imagine it. This is not something I can also hide from my parents, because I pray God keeps my parents alive, my mother will still come do omugwo after I give birth to a male child hopefully and then she sees it and starts asking question. How would I explain it to her… It’s also a No No for me…

Circumcision alone is not a good reason to break up a relationship leading to marriage. I have tried to talk about it with my fiancee but he still stands his ground on it.

What do I do?

Kindly drop your advice..
