something different "Virginity - A Question On Girls’ Morality - Youth Blog of India - “Are you pure?” asked the guy who came to see Seema for marriage.“Pure????” Seema couldn’t get his question. “Pure as in untouched?” he clarified. Seema now understood what he wanted to ask. “What are you looking for a girl to marry or ghee?” she replied agitated by such a question. He was shocked at sucha reply, but before he could say anything. Seema continued, “Well you can say if there was anexam about ‘purity’ I wouldn’t top it!” His family left. Next day he rang up Seema’s dad and told him that he cannot marry Seema as she is a girl with low morals. Bang on! Welcome to the progressive India where we claim to be modern people but still make Virginity a base to check a girl’s morals or her capability to become a good wife.Today when we claim that women have an equal status in the society with that of men, we stillare under the orthodox views of using a white bed sheet on the first night of marriage just to check the bride’s virginity!The guy may himself have slept with number of girls but he wants a “pure”, “untouched” girl as a wife. Why? Answer- just to satisfy his male ego that the girl he is goingto spend his life with has been and will be only his“possession”. If today a girl loses her virginity with a guy she loves truly but the guy turns out to bea cheat then she is tagged as a “slut”, “characterless girl” ; MIND YOU these being the most decentwords I can pen down ,else there are a million more worse words in our mother tongue vocabulary. I ask what is the mistake of the girl? She loved a guy? She slept with someone she thought she would marry? Or, she now has lost her purity which would satisfy her to-be husband’s male ego and make him believe that she is fit to be his wife! And again no answers I could get! nalbeira
