There was an article in the Evening Standard paper, this evening, which made me very angry. Click on the link below for a version written in 2007:

Apparently a large number of muslim women were having hymen repair surgery to give the allusion of being virgins for their wedding night. I found it completely abhorrent that such muslims think that by having their hymen repaired and decieving their husband is acceptable.
We need to educate these young women (as well as the muslim community) about the workings of female body. A hymen may tear and cause bleeding by exercising or by overstretching the pelvic muscles. In some cases, theres already no hymen OR that it does not tear during intercourse at all!
And dont get me started on women who fornicate and THEN have surgery to become "virgins".
I also understand that such articles may be biased against muslims (as they normally are) but I know there are some truths to this article.
How do you guys feel about this subject??

Perhaps the men also need to be educated, I mean these young women are doing it out of fear are they not? Deception isn't okay but it's so easy for a man to lie and say he is a virgin while his future wife might be a virgin worried because she tore her hymen through sports.
It is stupid idea Ever. It's a big business in US too. It's called "Virgin Repairs" in cities like Las Vegas, many married women have these repair to "increase their husband's pleasure"..during intercourse..
We definitely live in a weird world.
Jaz: the whole world needs educating!
sailoress: Its all about money man!! ppl will pay for sh*t if it was marketed right!
There was an article in the metro this morning about how much money was wasted treating alcohol related accidents (£25-65million- not sure on the figure). I bet half these people offended at virginity fixes wont even harumph at the money wasted on the drunks!!
Unfortunately, the problem comes from the husbands & their family who feel it is important women bleed during the first night together. Some cultures also make a show of this. So until there are people who have such family traditions, women will continue to go for such operations. Both Muslim women and men need to understand the importance of chastity in Islam. I think the best solution to avoiding such problems is families allowing their children to marry at an earlier age so that people can fulfill their desires in a halal way.
