Oh goodness….I was astounded by this article.
However, as a Western woman, I was a virgin at 20 [my choice] as I was ”scared” that having sex would be very painful!
When I met my husband to be, I didn’t bleed at all, despite being a virgin.
I thought there should be blood, but there wasn’t a drop.
Turns out that women don’t always bleed, and anyway, the hymen doesn’t form a total ”seal”, else it wouldn’t be possible for young women to have periods!
The shock I felt at reading this article, the double standards, the husband with four wives, and the domestic violence..very saddening.
Religion has so much to answer for. It is used as a tool for control.
Fascinating article, hope the author has now found happiness in her relationship.
A few years ago, in a local convenience store, [owned by a Pakistani family] the young men had guns, grew cannabis [there was a bust] and yet the young daughter, bless her, wanted to go to college.
she once said to me ”Western women aren’t beaten enough”….and this was appalling.
The girl disappeared at 16, probably to Pakistan, and I do think of her, and feel real sadness. -Catherine
