The couple will appear in the Joondalup Magistrates Court on October 4.
Child Protection Minister Robyn McSweeney said: "While I can’t comment specifically on this case, female genital mutilation is an abhorrent practice and one which is illegal in Western Australia. It is mutilation and should be stamped out worldwide''. Way to go Perth thank you may you give the baby girl a home that will accept her as a human being and send a message we will put all the bloody thirsty mutilators in jail!
