A British doctor performed female genital mutilation on a young mother after she gave birth in hospital, a court has heard.Dhanuson Dharmasena, 32, is accused of carrying out the illegal procedure at the Whittington Hospital in north London.The junior registrar, of Ilford, Essex, denies the charge in what is the first prosecution of its kind in the UK.
A second man, Hasan Mohamed, 41, denies encouraging and abetting the offence.
six in Somalia, London's Southwark Crown Court heard.She was 24 and living in Britain when she give birth to her first child in November 2012.The court heard that during labour, her FGM stitches were torn and Dr Dharmasena, a junior registrar in obstetrics and gynaecology, sewed her back up in a procedure that amounted to FGM.
The prosecution alleges the doctor did so at Mr Mohamed's "insistence or encouragement".
Kate Bex, prosecuting, told jurors that FGM was "very dangerous for a woman's health and psychological well-being"."It can lead to severe health problems and, in some cases, to death. FGM causes gynaecological, urological and obstetric problems in women, chronic pain and sexual dysfunction," she said."It increases the risk of death in childbirth to both mother and baby."
In a statement, Dr Dharmasena said he had carried out the procedure because he thought the woman wanted him to. He also said Mr Mohamed had urged him to do so.
He actually had a male doctor seal up his wife and the doctor actually agreed.
