The criminal complaint. was· automatically considere~ an application for a regular residence permit under the B9 arrangement set out in the Aliens Act 2000 Implementation Guidelines (Vreemdelingencirculaire 2000). On 28 April 2010, a deeision was taken to grant the complainant a temporary residence permit under the B9 arrangement. However, on 7 June 2010, it was decided that the complainant's criminal complaint did not warrant a prosecution and her temporary residence permit was subsequently revoked.

Women who are economically independent, highly educated or have a partner who respects their choice not to allow their body to be mutilated have a better chance of avoiding it.
