OTTAWA � There is no way of knowing how many hymen-repair surgeries are happening in Canada, but at least four plastic surgery clinics specialize in them.
In Canada, some young women from Muslim communities are getting their hymens repaired, in preparation for arranged marriages back in theirs or their parents' countries of origins: Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Pakistan and parts of Northern Africa.
In those countries, men and women must be pure until marriage, and the woman is often expected to bleed from her torn hymen on the marriage bed.
The young women seeking the surgery may have had secret boyfriends in Canada, torn their hymens during sports or even been raped or molested as children. They fear that without an intact hymen, they could be killed and their families could be dishonoured.
Ummm..... and they'd put themselves under this kind of operation and go back to these countries to face this sort of risk.... Why?
Because they're parents are forcing them to?
Hey, Newsflash:
You're in Canada FFS and have rights..... and if your parents are going to pressure, force or threaten you into marrying someone and going through this sort of crap..... Call the Damn Cops!

It would appear that if you are a Muslim woman, you have no rights.
Moreover, there are systems in place to help keep you under control, and make sure you meet the stone age requirements.
Man, can't stand up to the Indian's bs or else they'll take offense. Can't stand up to Sharia Law or else some Muslim's will take offense. Can't turn a shipload of illegal immigrants around because they and dumb-asses here will take offense. Can't execute even the most evil of murderers or else people will take offense.
Ya know, I'm getting pretty damn offended by all the offensensativity in this country

Yes, the problem with being this PC is that you go so far out of your way no to offend you end up being in a position where your value end up meaning nothing because you are too chickenshit to stand up for them.
These clinics deserve to be closed.

Don't get surgery. Just cut your finger and smear some blood on the sheets. That has been done forever, even Catholic people used to do that.

There is no reason in this day and age on this Side of the Atlantic that we need to put with this kind of medieval BS.

I don't remember "bleeding from a torn hymen" my first time. Which is logical, since I was a gymnast and rode horses...

...and you still have the scar to prove it.
