90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way fans were not surprised at how Ariela and Biniyam’s beliefs on circumcision differed since they never agree.
Fans could never understand why 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way stars Ariela and Biniyam had different beliefs about circumcision. The topic of male mutilation has come up before but never resulted in a mother running from the hospital.
Some fans of the hit TLC show 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way believe that Ariela was foolish to have her baby abroad. The first-time mother had no understanding of just how hard the process would be since she wouldn’t have her 90 Day Fiancé support system close by. Now, the female reality star seems to be paying the price for her rash decision, as her relationship has started to crumble.

Ariela Weinberg and her boyfriend Biniyam Shibre are still not on the same page when it comes to parenting their newborn son, Avi. On Sunday’s all-new episode, fans watched for a moment while the two agreed on the child’s name. They also agreed that he would be baptized in the Ethiopian culture, much to his father’s satisfaction. However, after a round of vaccines at the hospital, the 90 Day Fiancé mood quickly turned sour.
Ariela was having an extremely rough time watching her son cry as he was poked with a needle. When the doctor came to take the baby away for his circumcision procedure, it was the last straw for the new mother. TLC fans wasted no time starting a heated online argument that centered on whether the American was right or not. Many argued that circumcision is needed to keep the penis clean, although this has been debunked by medical professionals, while others pointed out only 25% of men actually have circumcised members. Ariela made it clear that she felt like she was “mutilating” her son and wanted to give him the choice. In the Jewish culture, a practicing Jew will typically decide on the eighth day of their son’s life to have a bris. Biniyam told cameras that the Ethiopians perform the procedure after seven days.
Ariela did not like that there was no surgeon to perform the process. There was only a general doctor who seemed to want to rush the process. Many TLC fans felt that Ariela was legitimately concerned for her child, while Biniyam was only worried about making the correct cultural choices, Earlier on in the episode, he even had the nerve to try and tell the new mother her breast milk wasn’t good enough for their son.
The episode ended with Ariela grabbing her son as she fled from the hospital. Biniyam and the hospital staff were left confused by her actions. When it comes to the issue of compromising in the future, this action does not seem to bode well for the two 90 Day Fiancé stars.
90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way airs on Sunday at 8 pm EST on TLC.
