Caution: recycled virgins



This is an interesting article about hymen restoration. What surprised me, though, was the mention of a court decision annulling a marriage when the bride turned out to not be a virgin. The surprising thing was that it was in France.

How can that be? I've been taught that the basic principle of the European law is that all people are equal, and now it would seem that there is different law for Moslems and non-Moslems. After all, I am sure that if a Frenchman would demand the annulment of his marriage on the grounds that the bride was not a virgin, he would be laughed out of court.

Are the nationalists right after all? Is the danger of Islamic law in Europe really real?
