The Canadian Council of Muslim Women (CCMW) plans to investigate just how common it is for women to have their hymens repaired.
"I am hoping to do this research, but now it is just in the initial stages," Alia Hogben, executive director of the CCMW, said.
On Thursday, QMI Agency reported a story about Dr. Dimitrois Giannoulias of Toronto, who performs the surgery.
Giannoulias has a private clinic and performs the surgery for women who have arranged marriages in the Middle East, where brides need to be virgins or they can face severe consequences.
When he was contacted again, he refused to talk about how common the surgery was performed.
"It is legal. It is a sensitive subject. I'm not speaking to you about it," he said.
"I first heard about this two years ago in Europe," Hogben said. "Doctors making life easier for their patients because women need to be virgins at the time of marriage, but I don't think that should be a factor here.
"I hear it is popular in B.C., but no one is keeping any stats."
The Ontario ministry of health doesn't track these surgeries, which are not covered by OHIP.
"This is not considered a medical necessity so it is not insured," health ministry spokesman Andrew Morrison said. "We wouldn't track something like that."
The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario wouldn't discuss the matter.
"I have no comment on that," college spokesman Jill Hefley said. "It is a legal procedure."
The Canadian Institute for Health Information also doesn't keep statistics on hymen surgery.
“Probe”??? They really said, “Probe”???
surgery or not they have to be insane to marry a Muslim and move to the middle east from Canada.
Got to love modern journalism.
On a more serious note, do they really expect honest answers? It’s like asking teenage boys if they masturbate. The very topic ensures a dishonest answer.

What year BC? These people are so screwed up it's pathetic.
“A virgin? Really?
As I recall you seemed to have a lot of, um, technique for a virgin!”
I think BC refers to British Columbia.
I know. I was just having some fun.
I was making light of the backward culture that thrives in Islamic. Not the virginity aspect, more so the view.

Repairing virginity? On top of that, well, just more of the culture of death thing.
These idiots need to be probed with a hot poker..
“Doctors making life easier for their patients because women need to be virgins at the time of marriage....”
Is that a nice way of saying it’s a life-saving medical procedure?
well, depends on the young man in question... some could not give a flip if anyone (at least schoolmates) knows.
I’m moving to B.C.
Now is the time to open my FOOM Clinic.

These young women should just stay here in the West. We’re so enlightened, we don’t care if you’re a virgin - unless it’s to point and laugh at you.
