Help! My husband wants a divorce because I don't want to circumcise our daughter


This is very important. I'm a 27 year old girl. I live in Nigeria now however, I grew up in England (I left Nigeria at about 16). At 22, after my masters, my dad demanded I move back to Nigeria in hopes that I'd find a good NIGERIAN man to marry rather than my then boy friend (he was white so my after believed if I married him it won't last). Sadly, I listened and broke up with my boyfriend, Harry -he was the best man I had ever been with, he was amazing, caring and most importantly he put me before himself in any situation- and within a week I was back here in Nigeria, a country I hadn't seen in so long. My mum followed me to help me settle in. I was back to Nigeria in search of a husband. 

I had stayed in Nigeria for two years already when I met Abdul. Everything was alright. He was kind as well, very caring and almost anything any girl could wish for. We talked about marriage and about a year later, we got married. At this point I was 25. We gave ourselves a couple of months before we started trying for kids and soon after, we got pregnant and we had our beautiful daughter (I'd rather not mention her name). 

Emeh, the problem now is it's been 4 months since  my baby girl has been born and every single day Of this four months, Abdul has asked me whether my daughter and I are ready for our baby's circumcision. He has threatened to take her from me one day and go and circumcise her at his grandmothers place. He has also threatened To divorce me if  i don't circumcise our daughter already. 

Emeh I'm absolutely tired of this. I don't know if I should just take my daughter and run away. I really don't want my daughter to go through such pain and agony in life. How can you want to circumcise a female child in 2014 ? Please I really don't understand.

Please advice me. Put this in your blog and let your readers tell me what to do please Emeh. I beg you.

Thank you very much.
