UK: Muslim women getting virginity repair operations
Posted on July 30, 2010 by creeping
Muslim girls need sex too, and apparently they are getting it and don’t want their future husbands to know. Pious.
BRITISH Muslim women are having “virginity repair” operations on the NHS so their bridegrooms cannot tell they have had sex.
Doctors have revealed a surge in the number of women booking themselves in for the controversial 30-minute procedure just before they get married.
Health authority rules say women can have the operations for “physical and psychological” reasons.
And figures show that taxpayers have paid for 116 hymenoplasty procedures on the NHS between 2005 and last year.
But hundreds more are refused the NHS treatment.
And they are so frightened their future husbands will find out they’ve had sex, they are paying up to £4,000 for private surgery.
Muslim brides are under huge pressure to be “pure” when they marry so their husbands can take their virginity on the wedding night.
Many women give doctors false names and addresses and some are even buying chastity certificates to “prove” they are virgins.
Some young women and their families have been publicly shamed or even killed if a husband suspects his bride has had sex before.
One clinic in Harley Street, London, said demand for hymenoplasty ops had tripled in recent months.
Consultant gynaecologist Dr Magdy Hend, performs the op for £1,850 a time.
He said: “In the past, we would do one or two hymen reconstruction operations a week. Sometimes now, we get two or three women a day wanting it.
“Demand has tripled. And the majority of our clients are Muslim women.
“They worry about having had sex and their fiancé and family knowing they have been touched before. The woman fears the husband will divorce or humiliate her. There have been honour killings in extreme cases.
“It is simple surgery that takes half-an-hour. They can have it done at lunchtime and do not have to give their real names.
“They are paying up to £4,000 at other clinics.”
Imam Dr Taj Hargey, chairman of the Muslim Educational Centre in Oxford, said: “The rise in the number of these operations in Britain is a very disturbing trend.
“It is very disappointing Muslim women in this country feel they need to lead a double life, resorting to subterfuge surgery.”
