        The WEST has much stricter, effective LAWS that punish culprits unlike some African societies that practice it as a permitted cultural norm!

        That research covers only America. The same research should be carried out in South Sudan, Northern Uganda, South, West Africa, Middle East.

        Not mistaken, that research was a general one, basically covering almost all over the world. America is like a spoiled collar nut,.
