A German company is cashing in on ‘virginity’ by selling ‘fake hymens’ to Muslim women who want to convince their husbands-to-be that they have not had sex before marriage.
Virginia Care offers a package of two ultra-thin membranes that women can insert into themselves to make it appear that their hymen is not broken.
The purchasable ‘fake hymens’ first appeared in China targeting the Middle Eastern market but people were worried about the quality of the product.
Now business is booming for Virginia Care, who have mastered their product.
Due to an influx of refugees from Muslim countries into Germany, sales have surged and more and more women are using them.
The fact that it is a fraction of the typical £1,750 cost to carry out the surgical procedure means that products are being bought quickly by anonymous women.
Each membrane consists of two cellulose skins between which a sterile, freeze-dried blood powder has been injected.
Virginia Care offer two types: Virginia Care Original, which produces a red-brown colour aimed at parents and in-laws for the day after to prove virginity and one that gives a ‘fresh-blood’ look to convince a new husband.
The membranes fix themselves in place using the warmth and moisture inside the woman’s body, and then when it is broken during sex the blood mixture provides ‘evidence’ that she is a virgin.
Writing a review for the company, one Muslim customer reportedly said: ‘If your product did not exist, I would not now exist either.’
Muslim women from strict families that engage in pre-marital sex can often face life-threatening consequences.
Only a few weeks ago, a couple from Pakistan, who lived in Germany, were jailed for life after they killed their 19-year-old daughter when they found out she had been having sex with her boyfriend.
