Like a virgin, touched for very second time
AHMEDABAD: A plastic surgeon was in for a surprise recently — a boy and his girlfriend came to consult him for hymenoplasty, a procedure in which the hymen is reconstructed in women.
The boyfriend told the doctor that they were in love and had engaged in premarital sex
for over a year. However, since the two belonged to different cultures,
their parents were not in favour of their marriage and hence they had
no choice but to part ways and get married to different people.
"The boy wanted me to restore the hymen so that the husband believes
that the girl is a virgin on the wedding night," said Dr Hemant Saraiya,
a plastic surgeon. "He said that he supported her as he did not want
her to be in trouble for the hymen not breaking. This was the first case
of a boyfriend accompanying his girlfriend for hymen reconstruction which indicated that the society is changing."
Saraiya said that he is routinely consulted by girls, coming along with
their friends, to get hymen reconstructed before their wedding.
"Premarital sex is very common these days and while there are men who
do not insist on their wives being virgins, there are many belonging to
conservative families who insist on this 'virtue'," he said.
"Many girls who have had physical relations with various boyfriends get
hymen reconstructed before marriage. While most girls come with their
friends, one girl was accompanied by her mother."
In
hymenoplasty, a mesh of tissues taken from inside the vagina walls is
constructed into a hymen which, like the original structure, can break.
Dr Aashit Shah, another plastic surgeon, said that hymenoplasty
was becoming a popular method to restore virginity in girls who have
had premarital sex and were getting married to men other than their
lovers. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ahmedabad/Like-a-virgin-touched-for-very-second-time/articleshow/20451039.cms?intenttarget=no#.UcCOlggdqAY.facebook
