Deeply held religious value, huh?

As the wise man Jagger once observed... "She was practiced at the art of deception... I could tell by her blood-stained hands."

Gynecologists say that in the past few years, more Muslim women are seeking certificates of virginity to provide proof to others. That in turn has created a demand among cosmetic surgeons for hymen replacements, which, if done properly, they say, will not be detected and will produce tell-tale vaginal bleeding on the wedding night.

The service is widely advertised on the Internet; medical tourism packages are available to countries like Tunisia where it is less expensive.

I don't know what's more appalling... the self-deception... or the hypocrisy.
