#8  From what I understand, fÂ’qih is in institution in northern Africa (and possibly elsewhere in the arab/muslim world?), but from comments I've read from secular north african on various forums, abuse is rampant, both physical (beatings for non-performance are common), and sexual (man-boy type), and somehow understood and excused by society, at least in its traditional version (this girl's mother certainly didn't understand and excuse, thanksfully).
