    It's an appalling concept. The woman presumably knows whether she's a virgin or not. It's nobody else's business.

    Which is fine by me. But I'm not Muslim.

    I can see forcing them to change some things like the burka, since that can hinder identification, but the virginity stuff is not a detriment to society.

    It's at odds with the values of French society. You're always saying that immigrants should assimilate. This would be a good opportunity.

    I do believe immigrants ought to assimilate, but this a cultural practice where I can find no downside to French society.

    How does it negatively impact other French citizens?

      And let's expand this one a bit...Why is virginity a bad concept?

      That's not the question you should be asking. The question you should be asking is what are the consequences of a failed test.

        I suspect not a lot, except in isolated incidents. Then, the law can deal with those incidents.

        I also suspect many young women with virginity certificates may not be virgins.

                  How is the law going to deal with the fact that nobody wants to marry some poor girl because she failed a test, and that she becomes an outcast to her family?

                      Pretty much all the anti-Islamic sentiment that I've read here over the years is associated with terrorism, a practice that has been carried out by a miniscule minority of the muslim population.

                      If you want to criticise something that a much larger proportion of Muslims engage in, as well as those of other faiths, it should be in their attitudes to women's rights. And yes, it's not really an Islamic thing, but a cultural one, as the awful rape statistics in India amongst Hindus can attest.

                        A French Muslim women does not have to participate. She can tell her family to piss up a rope, for all I care. The Koran does not specifically call for virgin brides, even if the writer was screwing a virgin child bride.

                        The practice does not bother me, until at such time they use force or other unlawful tactics to ensure compliance.

                          The government should not be forbidding this.

                          It might be stupid or cruel, but there doesn't seem to be forced participation.

                          If they want to do it, I think it is nobody's business, certainly not the government's.

                            It is stupid, tribal and cruelly invasive, and I am more than certain it is forced on Muslim women and girls.

                            If Muslims want to do it, they can consult a licensed physician practicing in a Muslim country but so long as they reside in France it is the business of French government whether or not to permit medical certification of a woman's virginity.

                                Once again, this is all symbol by the left-leaning and all substance by the right-leaning. The story is clear that historically and culturally, this practice occurs outside of official medical channels. So to those who value the practice, they will do it outside those channels, if it is most expedient to do so. This is a non-issue, but pounced upon by those who want to enforce their own idea of virtue by mobbing up with the government.

                                Education is extremely important.

                                      The government should be forbidding this.

                                      It is stupid, tribal and cruelly invasive, and I am more than certain it is forced on Muslim women and girls.

                                      If Muslims want to do it, they can consult a licensed physician practicing in a Muslim country but so long as they reside in France it is the business of French government whether or not to permit medical certification of a woman's virginity.

                                      Ok, First Nation citizens of Canada do not have to obey the same game laws as other citizens.

                                      I think that should be forbidden.

                                        Nah, the game law thing is true.

                                        It's the flip side of what you are advocating in this thread, of which neither makes sense...

                                          Once again, this is all symbol by the left-leaning and all substance by the right-leaning. The story is clear that historically and culturally, this practice occurs outside of official medical channels. So to those who value the practice, they will do it outside those channels, if it is most expedient to do so. This is a non-issue, but pounced upon by those who want to enforce their own idea of virtue by mobbing up with the government.
