It's quite likely that his mother died from complications related to the mutilation that is inflicted on women to make them "marriageable". And that the boy's father would have refused to marry any woman who hadn't had this done to her. At least growing up with Madonna, the little boy won't grow up to demand that women be mutilated for his "honor".

Your wild accusations are unlikely, considering that the mother had had two other children before David.

The damage is often cumulative, especially as the mothers are often sewn back up into an unnatural, constricted configuration after each birth. The accumulation of scar tissue, and the resistance caused by unnaturally rigid scar tissue in an area which would normally consist of soft flexible tissue, can cause major internal problems during labor and delivery. Of course, she could also have died of an infection unrelated to mutilation, since post-natal care and antibiotics probably weren't available to her. But the number of mothers and babies killed every year as a result of mutilation practices is huge, and yet the practice continues to be very widespread. Any child who escapes from that culture early enough to avoid being brainwashed by it is lucky, even if it's via adoption by a self-absorbed pop star.
