#2 Civilization has worsened with the thought that French girls must be virgins. In other words, what male goes to France looking for virgins? I prefer the man on his knees in the Notre Dame Cathedral, smiling, and saying, "This is terrible. I've sinned again."

What is the matter with that guy and that Judge?

#3 For the husband, it's a win-win. He gets to have sex with his new bride and then dump her immediately. And they complain about Western values . . .

#4 snicker - this has to put the liberal's knickers in knots. But sadly, they stand for nothing and I'm sure they will find a way to justify this as they do all other assaults on their "beliefs".

First and foremost -they are cowards who use words and wit to avoid having to stand and fight for anything.

#5 An informal survey by The Associated Press in 2006 found numerous private clinics in the Paris region where such surgery is performed, as well as doctors who supply fake virginity certificates before a marriage.

so the whole thing has eroded to nothing more than a sham, all done to avoid shame (and possibly worse). Nothing to do with religion. Nothing to do with morality. But then again, either does much of islam.

#6 The bride said she was a virgin. When her new husband discovered that was a lie, he went to court to annul the marriage

Let's rephrase that in a more Western version -

The groom said he was a millionaire. When his new wife discovered that was lie, she went to court to annul the marriage.

Do we expect a different outcome? and why?
