Article here. Excerpt:

'Recently, health officials in Tororo said women were discouraging their husbands from undergoing circumcision, fearing that they may take long to heal, thereby denying them sex. So, should a man seek his wife’s or fiancé’s consent before going for the ‘knife’?

According to Rita Zemeyi, a student at Kyambogo University, a man should not do anything without involving his wife.

“Circumcision is a sensitive issue. It is better if both partners talk about it. How can you be so selfish not to tell her?’’

Zemeyi argues that if a man does not consult his wife, it may ‘kill’ the trust in the relationship and even go a long way in determining whether the relationship lasts or not.'

... imagine the outcry! Nothing involving women's sexual health or status is considered fit for a man she's involved with to have any significant input on. But when it involves the man's body? Well, that's different then, isn't it?
