    You say that, but it’s still really rare in most countries with only about 10% in the entire world. It seems that Arab countries are typically the exception and are responsible for most of that 10%. There is probably a lot of cultural nuance there that I’m missing, but the link below has a world map that really illustrates that it occurs mostly in the Middle East.
