Rand: Do you believe that a woman who reveals her loss of virginity in France really needs to fear for her life? is impossible for a non-virgin muslim woman to get married in the country?
Yes. I have lived in America and, now, I live in France. There are honor killings here, where "impure" daughters or wives are killed to save the family honor. Honor killings happen everywhere, Rand; they've occurred in America, Canada, Europe, Asia and, of course, the Middle East.
You seem incredibly naive, so I wouldn't expect you to fully understand what a big deal hymen restoration might be for a young women. It could often be the difference between being ostracized socially for life or, even, being murdered by one of your own family members. This is not a trivial case of "oh, damn, need to get that hymen restored so I can fool my husband, tee-hee!" It's often a decision made from either fear or desperation.
So, please educate yourself; I saw the same article that you used the quote from about the man being a donkey. It's interesting that you glossed right over many other quotes, talking about women being in fear of the lives and safety for not being virgins. Are you just being willfully ignorant or what?
