I haven’t bought or read it, but it’s on my Christmas wish list.

You’re coming off as fairly condescending here, but I have no idea why. These are women who live in Britain, not people in caves and tribes or even in Muslim nations. It’s a little alarming that these women would be afraid of death for an early loss of virginity.

Isn’t Hymen a Jewish name?

His name is Hymen Cohen, so… I don’t know :).

Can’t one just purchase hymen offsets???

I’m going to giggle all day on that one!

Little tough to time the wedding with the woman’s cycle, I would think.

Birth control would make it easy.

Someone owes me a new keyboard and another soda. HILARIOUS!

I think the mooslims have it almost right!!!! Women should be virgins when they get married. However, if they are not, the wedding should be off, but she should not be killed. That would be going too far. A simple horse-whipping should get the point across. Then when her parents die, there will be no shame and she can marry. See? Problem solved.

Coupla’ problems with that, bub.

If women should remain virgins until they marry (and men should/do NOT!), then one may presume that all the nice, acceptable and worthy women have, of course, never had sex. So if it’s ok for men not to be virgins, then they must have had sex with sluts, whores and trollops… right? And this makes HIM “worthy” to marry such a righteous woman???

leepro your points are valid. In an ideal world both sexes would wait till marriage to have sex and then remain faithful to their spouse. It would stop a lot of problems STDs, children born out of wedlock(of course), and a few more that don’t take much of an imagination to envision. However, we are talking about people and people do what people have always been doing. The real test is how we deal with it. Words spoken in contempt or anger for what someone has done do not compare to what women in islam’s grasp have dealt with since it was established.

Wearing a veil and gown, she will be every inch the fairytale virgin bride and as befits her strict Muslim religion, after the ceremony, she will hand her blooded wedding-night sheets to her in-laws as proof of her virginity.

The RoP. Putting the cult in culture.

I guess a little prick wouldn’t work.

Check out the SPECIAL OFFER PAGE!

“Book now and have your operation later at the special offer price”

Thanks for that link, WriterMom. I might just take advantage of this now, in case I ever fall in love with a fundamentalist Muslim. A bargain is a bargain.

She also explains that many girls in the Muslim world who have lost their virginity before marriage lacerate their vaginal walls before the consummation to produce incidental bleeding. The proliferation of hymen restoration surgery in Europe among young Muslim women is also discussed.

Menstruating women are unclean. Can’t go to the mosque, can’t get laid, can’t even get a divorce (have to be ritually pure to get divorced. I think it’s to make sure she’s not pregnant).

That makes sense, but if she’s willing to lie and get surgery, couldn’t she just lie about this? Without going into details, it is possible that her husband wouldn’t be able to tell she was menstruating.
