Muslim Brides Undergoing Painful Vaginal Surgery to 'Re-virginize' for Wedding Nights

"On her wedding night, Aisha Salim will hand her blooded sheets to her in-laws as proof of her virginity, according to a story in The Daily Telegraph of Australia.

But there’s one problem. Being a modern English university graduate, she is far from the traditional untouched Muslim bride.

Like most woman her age, Salim has smoked, drank, had sex and even lived with one of her past boyfriends.

However, if the devout Muslim family of her soon-to-be husband – or even her own family – knew this, she could be murdered.

Aisha has opted to have her virginity surgically restored in a delicate but painful surgery called hymenoplasties -- where the hymen is re-created from the already torn tissue, or a new membrane is inserted.

"If my husband cannot prove to his family that I am a virgin, I would be hounded, ostracised and sent home in disgrace,” Salim told England’s Daily Mail.

“My father, who is a devout Muslim, would regard it as the ultimate shame. The entire family could be cast out from the friends and society they hold dear, and I honestly believe that one of my fanatically religious cousins or uncles might kill me in revenge, to purge them of my sins. Incredible as it may seem, honour killings are still accepted within our religion."

Whoa Nellie. Why doesn't she just forget the whole thing and NOT marry?

"Ever since my family arranged this marriage for me, I've been terrified that, on my wedding night, my secret would come out. It has only been since my surgery last week that I've actually been able to sleep properly. Now, I can look forward to my marriage."

Salim is far from alone in seeking such drastic -- and almost barbaric -- surgery.

The rise in Islamic fundamentalism has seen 24 women in the U.K. have the procedure between 2005 and 2006.

"I've always adored my parents,” Salim said."

Now its hard to feel all that sorry for her. She's living a lie, marrying someone simply because her daddy said to, and enjoying it thank you very much. Its one thing to be coerced into such barbaric acts to please her troglodyte parents, but quite another to do so with glee. If her religion demands she be virginal and she is not then FIGHTING the stupid ass religion would be far more honorable. She could make her story known via the press, but instead of bowing and scraping call for assistance from her fellow sisters and all the worlds feminists would swoop en masse to lend a helping hand.

Correct?
