LET'S TALK ABOUT HYMENS!!

LET'S TALK ABOUT HYMENS!! (taboo, taboo...not really if you are not living in the 1500s)

So last night I was watching an episode of Crime Patrol. In this particular episode they showed how a seventeen-year old girl was forced into marriage falsely and then within one month she was divorced. The reason? Her husband allegedly thought that she was in relationship with other guys.

How did he know? He just knew because guys have this supernatural power to tell if a girl is virgin or not... aka via her broken hymen.

Yes, even if we are living in the modern ages, most people, including a vast majority of girls are still ignorant about modern medical practices. One of these controversial topics is hymen, the thin membrane inside the vagina of a girl/woman which supposedly is used to determine if she is a virgin or not. It is thought to bleed when broken.

Long story short, we girls are expected to bleed when we do that "another-taboo-secret-thingy" with our husbands after marriage. And if we don't, then, we are the worst things in the whole of universe. Believe me or not, this attitude is still strongly prevalent in various parts of the world, and sad but true in majority of Muslim communities.

Anyways, enough of my ranting, here I present the other various reasons why a HYMEN MAY BREAK EVEN WITHOUT INTERCOURSE.

1. Some girls are born without a hymen;

2. The hymen may tear naturally when a girl plays sports or engages in any physical activity;

3. The hymen is not always smooth but tends to be perforated and that the perforations may get bigger and cause the hymen to break once a girl menstruates;

4. The hymen can be broken by the use of tampons;

5. The hymen may be very small or very elastic so that no breakage occurs at all (some women even become pregnant while their hymens are still intact);

6. A hymen may not bleed when broken.
