The arabs prefered their negro slaves castrated.

What about the female ones The Arabs love having concubines and slave girls, if they can afford to feed them. Of course the ones with real wealth (lots of Camels) did not need to stoop to stupping black African girls. They had plenty of white European captives, as well as Persian and other Asian ones, for that. But one would think the "lower classes", the ones left with no women when the upper class (lots of camels remember) men took 4 wives each, plus concubines, might appreciate a dusky maiden, or be willing to close their eyes.

I do not have a definitive answer to that. I’m given to understand that infanticide was the customary fate of babies born under those circumstances, but as I cannot cite a reference, I won’t make that as a firm claim.
