French Government Says No to Virginity Test

Why the big deal?
If the Muslim community wants it, who cares? What harm does it do to the French people, if the practice exists?

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

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.

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

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?

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?

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.
Elbows up!
