         We don’t know why the first wedding day should become an occasion to insult women, nor do we see any justification for judging or evaluating women on what is called the wedding night, However, this does not mean that others do not see the justification for it! On the wedding night, according to the demented popular sentiment, the matter of virginity, i.e., the state of the hymen, becomes clear, Either the woman succeeds in gaining the respect of foolish people, especially the husband, or she fails, and thus her insult or honor becomes a result of her evaluation, This is the equation among savage, ignorant, patriarchal groups, Marriage does not truly take place between two human beings, but rather between an animalistic male and a vagina with a hymen, The presence of the hymen at the entrance of the vagina does not represent an inevitable or necessary biological reality, There are congenitally vaginas without a hymen!

   Large groups of Arab Bedouin communities exist in the 21st century, observing global developments without participating in their creation, One example is the issue of virginity, which has died out in advanced societies, These backward societies should have emulated those advanced societies, at least in many aspects of life—scientific, political, material, intellectual, and moral, The Arab Bedouin peoples possess nothing of note except oil, backwardness, and hunger, They neither created, invented, discovered, nor extracted the former from the earth, while they created the latter three: backwardness and hunger  And, as is typical of these backward societies, they practice deception by painting their backwardness with a false, glittering color! It is inconceivable that they could be the best of backward nations!

  Life is about values, then morals, behavior, science, knowledge, and much more, Virginity and its connection to values ​​like honor is one of the “specialties” of Bedouin ignorance, Biological virginity is a “lie,” and the idea that values ​​like honor are linked to the hymen is an even bigger lie. There is no honor in so-called honor crimes, which are committed in these societies because of perceptions of virginity, honor, and its relation to the hymen, It is not honorable to kill, but the issue of the hymen tops the list of justifications for murder in many cases in this region, and hymen reconstruction surgeries are at the forefront of the world in this region, meaning that the practice of dishonor is at the forefront in these societies. How can repairing the hymen with a cheap Chinese artificial hymen that costs $15 be considered a restoration of lost honor?!

    The values ​​of honor have no relation to the hymen, and there is no such thing as biological virginity, It is dishonorable to reduce honor to what is called biological or surgical virginity, The presence or absence of the hymen, whether congenital or acquired, has no relation to honor, Rather, it is due to pathological psychological conditions that force the morally and psychologically deformed creature to believe that it is humiliating for him not to be the first knight in the practice of deflowering the hymen, Obsessive-compulsive disorder forces him to believe that being touched by another person’s hymen touches his manhood and masculinity, as if that woman was created only for him, Here we return to the problem of objectifying women, which we have discussed in many articles.

Humans are born with different physical characteristics, such as sex, weight, or various types of birth defects,They are also born with remnants of embryonic development, such as the appendix, which serves no purpose or necessity after birth, hence its name,This appendix can pose a risk to human life if it becomes inflamed, so it is surgically removed, Similarly, females are born in most cases with a hymen that has a perforation of varying shapes, This perforation is necessary for the passage of menstrual blood and other secretions out of the body,Blockage of this perforation leads to the accumulation of menstrual blood and other secretions, resulting in complications such as infections, which can be life-threatening, The hymen itself has no function, and its absence is preferable, as medicine does not recognize any medical condition caused by its lack. It is a fetal remnant that should be removed after birth, especially in the Arab world, where the presence of the hymen is associated with unfounded moral considerations, In this region, the hymen is burdened with superstitious notions of honor or shame, Because of these myths, the hymen is often associated with something other than honor or shame, Honor killings are committed to wash away mythical shame.

We believe that it is necessary immediately after birth to remove fetal remains such as the hymen, as a preemptive way out of the cycle of honor crimes and shame-washing. Removing the hymen after birth negates the need for its repair…!!!
