Leaders love to conduct mass marriage, it generates plenty of publicity. However, the Government of Madhya Pradesh has announced that girls who opt for this ritual must first prove their virginity before they can claim the benefits! Usually such couples are chose for the ceremony who are poor or come from socially weak groups and are given a set of clothes and some cash (Rs 5000.00 in this case) to begin the new life. It is reported that one of the girls suffered labor pains just before the traditional exchange of garlands. The program was being conducted by the Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan and he flew into a rage – spot examination of the girls revealed that 14 out of the 152 fell in this category! It is a racket in which middlemen bring recently married couples and earn commission from them out of the cash given by the Government.

This problem is apparently virtually non existent in Israel because they
still perform HONOR KILLINGS. Girls coming of age are suited up with boys
of a similar age as they are for marriage. Before the girls are allowed to marry their parents take them to doctors clinics and hospitals to be examined medically for their virginity. If they are found to be de-flowered of their virginity the parents take them home and murder them
for being adulteresses, they actually stone them to death. I don't agree
on that because it is nothing but murder. Why should any loving parents murder their only daughter for losing her virginity? Some girls
don't deliberately go having sex but are raped by strangers and they are still murdered because the sin of losing their virginity is blamed
on them. Like the woman in the gospels, a mob were leading her for the
stoning because of supposed adultery. Jesus said, let the first one of
you who is sinless or righteous hit her with a stone. 12/7/2009.

Wow I've never heard of that...Interesting. Don't normally think things associated to Africans, Indians and Arabs, the Israelis are doing. You should do an article on what you wrote here.
