Two Michigan doctors are CLEARED of female genital mutilation charges as federal judge declares the FGM law 'unconstitutional' in the nation's first case of its kind
A federal judge dismissed charges Tuesday against two doctors and others involved in the genital mutilation of nine girls at a Detroit clinic
US District Judge Bernard Friedman also declared a US law banning female genital mutilation unconstitutional
Friedman dismissed mutilation and conspiracy charges against Dr. Jumana Nagarwala and Dr. Fakhruddin Attar
The same charges were dismissed against Attar's wife, Farida, and Tahera Shafiq and four women who tricked their daughters into going to the clinic
The defendants are all apart of the Muslim sect, the India-based Dawoodi Bohra
Michigan was the 26th state to officially ban the female circumcision practice
Female genital mutilation has been condemned by the United Nations but is common for girls in some parts of Asia, Africa and the Middle East
