Egypt: Voices seeking import ban on 'Virginity Faking Device' growing in numbers!!!

Move over the complicated and costly hymen repair surgery. Women who want to conceal their loss of sexual innocence, so to speak, can now fall back on a much cheaper alternative - a device that can aid them fake their virginity. But ... not so in Egypt, at least not for long if a call to ban import of the device is upheld by parliament here!

The device has stirred up a hornet's nest in the conservative Arab society of Egypt where pre-marital sex comes with a stigma attached to it. The made-in-China device being traded for $15 in Syria has met with stiff opposition.

It all started with Abdul Mouti Bayoumi, a renowned scholar from the prestigious al-Azhar University demanding death penalty to those caught importing the device into Egypt. His argument is that suppliers of the item are spreaders of vice in society and should be liable to a punishment of the highest order.

Islam regards fornication as a cardinal sin and the virginity faking device undermines natural deterrence of God-fearing people from the vice of pre-marital sex. No wonder, what started initially as a lone voice has gained support to the extent that some members of Egyptian parliament have sought a ban on the import of the item.

The contraption works by releasing a liquid resembling blood enabling the bride to feign virginity on that all-important wedding night.
