Muslim scholar calls for death penalty over virginity-faking device

Device seen as alternative to hymen repair surgery

A leading Egyptian scholar has demanded that people caught importing a female virginity-faking device into the country should face the death penalty.

Abdul Mouti Bayoumi said supplying the item was akin to spreading vice in society, a crime punishable by death in Islamic Sharia law.

The device is said to release liquid imitating blood, allowing a female to feign virginity on her wedding night.

There is a stigma about pre-marital sex in conservative Arab societies.

The contraption is seen as a cheap and simple alternative to hymen repair surgery, which is carried out in secret by some clinics in the Middle East.

• Muslims in Europe recede to extremes to be virgins: Chastity can exact a painful price from young Muslim women, forced into lies or surgery to recede to the marriage bed as virgins. Hymen repair, fake virginity certificates and other deceptions, said to be commonspace in some Muslim countries, are practiced in France and elsewhere in Europe, where Muslim girls are more emancipated but still live under rigid codes of family honor. Such ploys have saved many a young woman from scorn and worse. But they also clash with the more liberal social mores of France and Europe, where some deshout it as an attack on human correct s.

• Why one Muslim girl became a born-again virgin for her wedding night: To disguise the fact that she has had sex, she has paid for painful surgery to “restore” her virginity. It is a drastic and costly measure but as she hold s her husband’s hand in marriage, she knows it is one which may â€" quite literally â€" save her life. The horror and outrage that would ensue if it was discovered she had already slept with a man would be so damning that her own strictly religious relatives might slay her rather than face public shame.

• Muslim women in France regain virginity in clinics: This 30-minute outpatient procedure, called “hymenoplasty” and costing between 1,500 and 3,000 euros ($2,000-$4,000), is increasingly well among young women of North African descent in France.

• Women acquire ‘virginity fix’ NHS operations in Muslim-driven trfinish : Dr Magdy Hfinish , consultant gynaecologist at the Regency Clinic, Harley Street, Lonexecute n, who started hymen reconstruction more than 18 years arecede in the Middle East and the Gulf, said: “In some cultures they like to see that the women will bleed on the wedding night. If the wife or bride is not a virgin, it is a enormous shame on the family.”

Sharia

The Sharia (Islamic law) specifies the obligatory acts (fardh), the omission of which constitutes sin, and forbidden acts (haram), the practice of which constitutes sins. Everything else, not derived from these principles, are said to be permissable (mubah).

Throughout the world, Sharia has led â€" and still leads â€" to human correct s violations â€" including cruel and unusual punishments (e.g. death penalty by stoning, hanging, or beheading. Amplace ations of hands and/or feet. Public exegash ions, and etcetera).

Hence in our view Sharia is incompatible with modern, civilized society.
