“However, this sort of degrading surgery, that is only performed to satisfy the vanity of a bunch of insecure men, should be outlawed.”

Also outlaw: botox, liposuction, silicone augmentation,butt bleaching, collegen injections, face lifts, and vagina tightning that are only performed to satisfy the vanity of insecure women.

Sewing up a woman’s hoo-hoo doesn’t magically make her a virgin if she’s already done the deed. Of course if you believe in magic fairies I imagine you could believe a piece of skin makes you a virgin no matter how many times you’ve ridden the pony.

i can remember when the phrase ‘born again virgin’ was used jokingly to describe a dry spell. This just takes the biscuit!

Does the Koran demand a potential wife to be a virgin or is this another case of a dark-age culture that refuses to die. I’m sick of cultural relativism being used as an excuse for religious abuse.

How about a halal chastity-belt for the boys, to be worn from the age of, let’s say 12 till the ‘happy’ occasion arrives they can have sex with another virgin. Until that time they can walk around with blue balls from looking at scantily clad kaffir (what’s the correct spelling of this word?) women, without the relief of a wank. The importance of virginity might soon be reconsidered.

As for the physical or psychological health BS: the only reason these women want their hymen back is probably to prevent a wedding-night spent in a hospital, or worse, in case hubby finds out he’s gotten himself ‘used’ goods. But why would he care, with 72 virgins lined up in paradise? He can wait.

A post above suggested that the blokes are supposed to be pure too. How can you tell a bloke is yet to dip the wick?

I’d suggest a small biodegradeable phial of some reddish fluid, discretely administered by the bride.

I’m fascinated to learn in just what loony universe the restoration of a bride’s hymen ‘restores her virginity’,do her previous sexual partners vanish?

“The NHS does not fund hymen repair operations for cultural reasons. All operations on the NHS are on the basis of clinical need. Operations to repair the hymen are only carried out exceptionally to secure physical or psychological health.”

I have to wonder what physical, medical danger a woman can suffer because of a broken hymen?

As for the psychological issues, I can imagine this could be an issue for some young women and may cause them deep distress, other elective surgeries are carried out on the NHS for similar reasons [as stated by the patient] such breast enlargement or gender reassignment.

In these cases I believe it to be a preoccupation brought about by the conflict of normal modern life and corrupt cultural traditions and as such the women are victims here; it’s possible that if we take the NHS claim at face value that this course of action might be a more effective treatment for the individual than if the alternative was, say, CBT or extensive counselling.

That’s a valid point, Stuart.

In the Muslim tradition, male virginity is supposed to be an issue, also. But, as all religion is misogynistic, it’s always the onus of the woman to be pure.

I’m going to use SCIENCE to make me into a fake virgin for my wedding night. Not because I fear the hell of religion, but because the beloved that is marrying me is a brainless moron that will help stone me to death if I don’t feel & bleed properly.
Islam the religion of peace and love. RRrrright!
It must be terrifying to be a woman in that society what will force her into that expensive & painful operation. And they are controlled to the point it is nearly impossible to run away.
Its illegal in england and america to treat your dog that badly.
