I think men in those cultures are only interested in a woman who will produce offspring. Most poor Muslims tend to have large families. They don't want a wife who will enjoy sex. They just want one who is fertile. I can only imagine that the reason this procedure is done on young girls, is her parent's hope and expectations, that she will be wed to a suitable and acceptable partner. This might mean another goat for her family when she gets married.
