why are muslim girls given the finger check before they get married?

Question

usually done by the girl's aunty

Answer 1

To verify that they are virgins.

Otherwise, they have to be stoned.

That's the law, in Islamic societies.

Shirley you know that if you are Ex-Muslim.

Answer 2

A Muslim man can marry a non-Muslim woman. But A non-Muslim woman canNOT marry a Muslim man. I think that Muslims and Hindus should not marry [unless they can work things out] because there will be a lot of controversy. For example, what religion will you teach your children - Hinduism or Islam? Also, whether you will keep idols in your home. Darling, I hope you understand. You sound like a very sweet girl and I hope Allah [sWT] will guide you! :) P.S. Usually, the fact of a Muslim marrying a Hindu is frowned upon. I'm not sure why. :)

Answer 3

How many times will you ask the same question? As I stated in the other question, you are lying. This is NOT an Islamic practice, however it may be a cultural one that is only practiced in a few areas. You may have been molested by your family, but the majority of Muslim women have not. Stop being ignorant, if that is at all possible.

Answer 4

What a crock. That is not true at all. I am a Muslim woman and there was no one, NO ONE who would even dare ask to perform such an act never mind commit it. I have a daughter and no one will ever do such a thing to her. You must be full of hate, poor you i feel sorry for you.

And who do you think your fooling with that ex-Muslim rubbish. You know you where not and every Muslim can tell straight away you never where. Only fools and ignoramuses will believe you, your in good company then.......

Answer 5

Is it you again, pretending to be an ex muslim.

To answer your unintelligent question that you have oviously not researched once again.

This practice is not done at all, it has never been done in Islam.

The practice you are refering to is done in African countries such as South Africa - it is African culture to check if the girl is still a virgin - because if she is still a virgin -the guy will have to pay more labola (money given to the parents for marrying thier daughter) if she is not a virgin , the man that slept with her will have to pay money for breaking her virginity.
Althought this tradition is only practised in Rural areas in todays time, the more modern African people that live in Urban areas no longer practise it, although that do still pay Labola when getting married.

So Ex - whatever you are - do your research & stop posting questions that are incorrect. you are such a flake

I have said this before get a life & an education because its clear you dont have both .

Answer 6

Oh, look, our clone is back under one of her many IDs. What you say is never done. That's in your bible. Nowhere in Islam is this done. But it's definately in the bible and Torah. No offense to the christians, just showing her that she knows nothing of her own religion.

Let us look at the following Verses in the Bible: "If a man takes a wife and, after laying with her, dislikes her and slanders her and gives her a bad name, saying, 'I married this woman but when I approached her, I did not find proof of her virginity,' then the girl's father and mother shall bring proof [how do you think they would do that?] that she was a virgin to the town elders at the gate. The girl's father will say to the elders, 'I gave my daughter in marriage to this man, but he dislikes her. Now he has slandered her and said, 'I did not find your daughter to be a virgin.' But here is the proof of my daughter's virginity.' Then her parents shall display the cloth [the father would literally stick his two fingers covered with a piece of cloth into his daughter's vagina before she gets married and keep that bloody cloth for as long as his daughter is married] with before the elders of the town, and the elders shall take the man and punish him. (From the NIV Bible, Deuteronomy 22:13-18)"

Here is a more clear translation from Hebrew Resources: "The girl's father and mother shall produce the evidence of the girl's virginity before the elders of the town at the gate. And the girl's father shall say to the elders, "I gave this man my daughter to wife, but he had taken an aversion to her; so he has made up charges, saying, 'I did not find your daughter a virgin.' But here is the evidence of my daughter's virginity!" And they shall spread out the cloth before the elders of the town. (From the New JPS translation, Deuteronomy 22:15-17)"

The New JPS translation of Deuteronomy 22:15-17 makes it even more clear about having the parents of the girl displaying the bloody piece of cloth before the elders of the town.

According to the Talmud, the cloth should be "A cloth of less than 3 square finger-breadths. (From the Talmud, Eruvin 29b-30a and Succah 16a)", and before it is being used, it should be "soft, woolen and clean. (From the Talmud, Niddah 17a)"

Answer 7

I would imagine to check if the hymen is still there, make sure she's still a virgin.

Sort of a goofy tradition, since you can lose your hymen in other ways ... horseback riding, cheerleading, any number of athletic sports, even a car accident can do it.

Answer 8

Just becuase you and your mother doens't make it so for any other muslim girl

Answer 9

Never heard of it COW

Answer 10

I am a 19 years old muslim girl and I don’t know what you are talking about....... Please, don’t tell things you know they are not true.....
