Abstract: Culture is the most valuable asset of human society and an advanced and civilized society has a vast and varied culture. Culture includes various and different values and abstract and/or material entities, preserved with great care and transmitted from generation to generation. Nevertheless, whatever the historical period and the geographical area, culture should be in complete harmony and consistency with human rights and freedoms. It is outrageous to promote culture-based manifestations, inconsistent with human rights. It is inhumane to allow the practice under the socalled protection of traditions and rituals of barbaric, cruel, ruthless practices, devoid of any human foundation. Religion, as a part of culture, should not allow the practice of infamous habits, which humiliate and degrade the human being, causing intentional pain and physical suffering, extremely difficult to bear by the human being. From this perspective, culture, tradition or custom are undoubtedly a real criminogenic factor.
