WOMEN GET 'VIRGINITY FIX' NHS OPERATIONS IN MUSLIM-DRIVEN TREND

London: Women are being given controversial "virginity repair" operations on the NHS, it emerged last night.

And increasing numbers of women are paying up to £4,000 in private clinics for the procedure apparently under pressure from future spouses or in-laws who believe they should be virgins on their wedding night.
Doctors said most patients are immigrants or British of ethnic origin.

The popularity of the operation is said to be the result of social regression caused by Islamic fundamentalism
The trend has been condemned by critics as a sign of social regression driven by Islamic fundamentalists. Some countries have made hymen reconstruction operations illegal.

Dr Magdy Hend, consultant gynaecologist at the Regency Clinic, Harley Street, London, who started hymen reconstruction more than 18 years ago in the Middle East and the Gulf, said: "In some cultures they like to see that the women will bleed on the wedding night. If the wife or bride is not a virgin, it is a big shame on the family."

Considering the punishment for being impure, do you think this is a service to women of Islamic faith?
Could having this available and anon prevent "honor killings"?
What about Muslim men? They aren't always pure, but the women have to be.

    • Hymen schmymen. I never thought it mattered that a woman's hymen is intact.

      "In some cultures they like to see that the women will bleed on the wedding night"

      Ewwww. No thanks, I'd rather let the guy before me do the ceremonial bleeding.

    • I think that Muslim men need to get with the times and understand that women have lives. And allow them to be as sexual of a being as they are.
