They are also told that they will lose any respect within the community by marrying an uncut woman. That is why they will kill anyone, including a policeman, who interferes with the cut,’ Mwebia said” (7-8).

"Guatemala is patriarchal and the most gender unequal country in Latin America. Its traditional gender roles revolve around machismo, caballerismo, and marianismo.

Informal unions are very common in the countryside and many problems have arisen due to the silence of the law on this matter" (7).
