These old cultural rituals extend the male dominance theories, obviously to demonstrate the women/girl's subservience to any male desires. It is tragic. Like female circumcision it should be outlawed and the authorities need to educate the tribe, for starters they should mandate the 'Hyenas' are tested medically and the results broadcast to the younger women to start their questioning of their society. Gradual empowerment is the answer, but to get it to work amongst the superstitious tribal beliefs, it has to be done with slow explanatory examples.
