PARIS The operation in the private clinic off the Champs-Élysées involved one semicircular cut, 10 dissolving stitches and a discounted fee of $2,900.
But for the patient, a 23-year-old French student of Moroccan descent from Montpellier, the 30-minute procedure represented the key to a new life: the illusion of virginity.
Like an increasing number of Muslim women in Europe, she had a hymenoplasty, a restoration of her hymen, the vaginal membrane that normally breaks in the first act of intercourse.
In my culture, not to be a virgin is to be dirt, said the student, perched on a hospital bed as she awaited surgery on Thursday. Right now, virginity is more important to me than life.

I’m not sure why everyone seems to have a problem with muslim men wanting to marry virgins. Up until the 70’s most American men fully expected their wives to be virgins on their wedding day. Now we are surprised when 15 YO girls are virgins. If the woman falsely represents herself as a virgin (i.e. LIES), why should the guy be forced to marry a liar and a slut. I realize that admitting you are no virgin can get you killed, but unless these women are being forced to marry, find a guy where this isn’t a huge issue.
Two interesting things here to me. 1) The freaks that would kill a woman who is not a virgin at marriage, 2) a woman that would "lose" her virginity knowing it could get her killed.
How about just a certificate of virginity, one carrying the signature of Mohammad? As an alternative to costly surgery, I could maybe let them go for, say 500 scoots. Takers?
I think this is a good idea.. Kind of like Prime USDA beef..stamp on their @ss...and these Arab guys will be able to show it to their friends...
Let’s not forget that Obama is a Muslim...
thanks, bfl
In that horrid culture, a lot of girls or women don't have the choice to reconsider. These marriages are often a business arrangement between two families. More specifically, the fathers of the hapless bride and groom.
