Myth - Virginity a criteria for fertility?



Indian Men and Indian Families are obsessed with virginity.

As a gynaecologist one of the most common queries I get is "how to find if a girl is virgin?"

I have seen many marriages break after the Husband or in-laws found that the girl was not a virgin.

I have even had many relatives of patients asking me - she wasn't virgin at the time of marriage, is this the reason for her infertility?

Such outdated orthodox and regressive thought is highly deplorable.
Men are allowed to have pre-marital sex, and its termed as "jawani ka josh" (curiosity of young adulthood).

But women who have pre-marital sex are termed "untouchable".

A great number of infertility cases arise due to STD's (Sexually transmitted diseases) before marriage. This number is higher in males than in females.

A healthy relationship is not defined by the "virginity status" of a woman at the time of marriage.
A healthy relationship is not defined by how many "sexual partners" a woman has had in the past.

A healthy relationship depends on the happiness, love and caring that you cultivate every step of your present and future life...

Stop thinking small, stop being submerged in the darkness of the past... Move out to the light.
