[...] Whether you’re a Muslim woman in Tehran or Los Angeles, your virginity is seen as one of your major virtues. Sigheh marriage “is an advertisement that a woman is not a virgin.” In Muslim communities, virginity is protected, prized, and vastly preferred—advertising the fact that you’re not a virgin is tantamount to letting everyone know you’re not “pure” enough to be considered for “permanent” marriage, which is a pretty insulting idea. As I’ve stated before, I’m not a fan of reducing women to their body parts, especially their hymens. [...]

@ JJ Rousseau

I agree with most of your comment, i can only imagine that innocent girl having a heart attack, because the erection and sex for her for the first time is just too much. I think Islam encourages men and women to learn about their sexuality but not promiscuity. Some Muslim men and women just don’t know how to personify Islam, they take it to extreme, we MUST realize that we are in a highly over-sexualized world. For a girl to masturbate and explore her God given body is not irreparable sin, we do worse sins in our everyday lives. yes Muslim women get gang raped sadly in the streets of Saudi Arabia, because men are too horny and women become lesbian because they can only find sex with other women. That is true trust me.

Dear “Iranian” woman,

“Virginity” has no value in European cultures.
It is a synonyme for backwardness and narrow mindness.
I think 99% of Belgian girls ( my country) are not virgins at their marriage.
On her wedding day my daughter was accompagnied by her little boy of 2 years old en she was pregnant of a second child.
Reaction of my mother ( then 92) ” in my time this could’t be possible!!”)
Indeed times are changing and I think sexual freedom is a very good thing.
It is quite normal that young people have sexual experience before their marriage.
I cannot imagine a girl who is complete “innocent” and unexperienced and who may see for the first time in het life a male erection during het wedding night.
And the groom where did he found his “experience”?
With a prostitute? or with an European women? ( all european women are whores in the eyes of Moslims…)
What is the result with these obsession for virginity in the Muslim world?
Boys are not allowed to mingle with girls and cannot find an outlet for their most normal human sexual needs.
As a results girls and women are not safe in the streets of Egypt and have to hide under black tents…
Stop this backwardness dear Iranian women as we did in Europe.
Enjoy your life now!There is no God and there is no afterlife…

I agree that the “hymen” or virginity should be re-evaluated. It’s not just in Muslim cultures, either. Even Western cultures put too great an emphasis on a girl’s virginity.
