{{Citation
|Text=In African countries, for example, [[circumcision]] is primarily regarded as an [[Adolescent_and_adult_circumcision#Ulwalukano| initiation rite for adolescents during puberty]]. The ability to endure the [[pain]] that comes with it is considered a prerequisite for becoming man in many tribes. Often it is a prerequisite for having a wife at all, as women attach importance to marrying a man who has endured this ordeal.
