French Government Says No to Virginity Test

I suspect not a lot, except in isolated incidents.
Then what's the point of the test?

@jolly said in French Government Says No to Virginity Test:
I also suspect many young women with virginity certificates may not be virgins.

It could also be a way for French lawmakers to discourage Muslim immigration.
Could be...

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?

Cultural.

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 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.

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.

Ok, First Nation citizens of Canada do not have to obey the same game laws as other citizens.
I think that should be forbidden.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

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...

I think that should be forbidden.I agree, and those hunting and fishing rights should be abrogated. First Nations and some Metis have year round hunting rights on Crown lands and special fishing rights the rest of us do not. It may have made sense 150 years ago, but it does not any more.
So what's your point and what does this have to do with virginity certification on Muslim women and girls in France?

@jolly said in French Government Says No to Virginity Test:
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.
Bingo

The fact that treating women like shit is ingrained in some cultures is no excuse to allow women to be treated like shit in our countries.
-
Horace is right that it is symbolic. But what it is symbolic of - the subjugation of women - is certainly not something we want to encourage.
while i agree with Jolly that chastity can be a virtue, there is no legitimate health issue in whether a woman is or is not a virgin. I see no reason doctors should be doing this.
