Virginity Tests? Today? Yea. Today.

Eeep! Virginity tests? What the hell? How can anyone fathom such a thing? Maybe this is something only women can understand. (I’m not trying to be a crazy feminist here. XD)

I mean, how awful is it to be subjugated to such a test? A woman’s virginity is a private and personal matter. Women shouldn’t have to be virgins to get married. This should be a choice, not something to force upon women. Supposedly women over in India in a city are being tested to verify their virginity.

Young women sign up for a mass marriage ceremony (what in the hell?) and can only receive a government present (kind of like a dowry) if they take this test. If they “pass” they are given 6,500 rupees which is about $132! Typically these girls are from extremely poor families where this kind of money would be SUCH a blessing for them.

It’s so disgusting and shameful how they dupe women into taking this exam just to make money. In India, you see, virgin brides are such a hot commodity, since pre-martial sex is frowned upon, so this is how they can get “away” with administering such a test. These poor young girls either sign up out of free will, or get forced into these mass weddings in hopes of securing a finically stable future, even if it means getting married before they feel ready and mature enough for such a commitment.

But the official Neeraj Dubey denies any sort of test. He says that they are making the young women take pregnancy tests, since none of the men that signed up want the child of another man.

Everybody is then all hush hush about it, since it is a logical reason, but the truth is, they are invading these poor girls’ privacy by administering these virginity tests. Virginity should be a choice, not something required of women! But I digress…

Several of the women ended up complaining about how they felt violated and humiliated. I mean, I’m sure the way these women were tested probably wasn’t in a comfortable building in a private room. It must have been a mass test, such as the weddings are.

Cold and Unfeeling.


What a sad way to usher these girls into womanhood.
