Islam is totally devoid of any sense of morality whatsoever. This article says it all about the cult of falsehoods and death, but in their religion, not being a virgin could get them killed. Twisted beyond words.

Just a thought, but maybe instead of getting elective surgery that has no medical value, women who think this is necessary to avoid being beaten to death on their wedding night should reconsider saying "I do" with a guy who would kill over the lack of an intact hymen. I know that it's hard to find the perfect man, but asking that he not be a homicidal maniac with a hair trigger strikes me as a reasonable baseline.

Apparently not.

As an aside, I’m not sure in what context to understand the hair trigger part?

You would think, huh? :)

When I was an embassy guard in Egypt in the late 80’s, this procedure was common back then. The women would fly to Europe to get it done. Limited of course, to those with the means. The rest: SOL. Except for the upper middle class and above, most women didn’t have the final vote when deciding who they married. Egypt was considered one of the most progressive Muslim nations then.

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.
