For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.The trial collapsed because one expert stated that the girl had undergone FGM, the other expert that she hadn't.
Changes in the law would not alter the experts opinions.
This girl had undergone at least two intrusive examinations - it is not just a matter of taking a quick peek as some people seem to think.

"The problem is that it is never carried out in the UK. Always abroad normally Pakistan.We can't make laws that can be used to prosecute something that happens outside the UK. " - eddie, there was a law change some years ago that allowed prosecution if someone did something abroad that was illegal in Britain, not sure as to the extent of that law, no doubt the judge will be along to clarify. I think that's how they nicked some sex tourists to Thialand etc, possibly Gary Glitter.
Thanks naomi...then it has to be proved "beyond reasonable doubt" and that is a big ask in these cases.
Is this abnormal vagina likely to be caused by FGM?
If one Dr says yes and another says no.......then there is no case to answer...........difficult.
I presume that will be the same in Iceland....if any get to trial ..re circumcision.
