on Yahoo!And yes, as mentioned above, in some cultures, proof a girl isn’t a virgin at marriage is reason enough to kill her. Even today, thousands of girls in the Middle East and Asia die every year because of what are called “honour killings.”
It’s no wonder that, with these kinds of stakes, there have been as many ways to fake one’s virginity throughout history as there have been ways to prove it. Like taking the bladder of a fish, filling it with pig’s blood and pop it in your vagina before the big night so that it would burst when you had sex. And today, there are doctors who will actually reconstruct a girl’s hymen. The practice is called hymenorraphy and, in some cultures, it is done using sheep’s membrane while others use catgut to stretch across a young woman’s vagina. Occasionally, they will pop in a gelatin capsule full of blood-like liquid that is meant to burst when the girl has intercourse.
Like I said, so much fuss over a little flap of skin. Imagine if male virginity was under the same scrutiny and boys were constantly preached at to save themselves for marriage. And how would they prove it?
