See What Tunisia Young Women Are Doing To Become Virgins Again
Since Tunisian women are expected to be virgins when they marry, the young women are now turning to Hymenoplasty, a short procedure that promises to reconstruct virginity surgically, hymen reconstruction surgery.
A young woman, Yasmine (not her real name) turns to the help of science to gain her lost virginity, the 28-year-old woman lost her virginity while living abroad to one man but now afraid her husband will find out she's not a virgin after they got married.
Yasmine whose wedding is in two months has agreed to the surgery but says she still consider it to be a deception and she's really worried.

Yasmine whose wedding is in two months has agreed to the surgery but says she still consider it to be a deception and she's really worried.
“I consider this to be deception and I’m really worried,” says Jasmine whose wedding is in two months.
BBC reporter, Sihem Hassaini reports how Yasmine confides in him that she is having a hymenoplasty, a short
procedure that promises to reconstruct her virginity surgically.
We claim to live in a modern society… but there’s not much modernity when it comes to women’s sexuality and freedom
“I might one day inadvertently betray myself in a conversation with my husband,” she says. “Or my husband may have… suspicions.”
Pressure
There have been some reports of young women here being divorced shortly after marrying because their husbands suspected they were not virgins.
Yasmine was born into a liberal family and spent many years living abroad. She fears her fiancé will cancel their wedding if he knows the truth about her sexual history.
“I had an affair once with a man,” she says. “At that time, I couldn’t imagine how huge the pressure was in my society and what the consequences could be.
“So now I am afraid. If I reveal this to my fiancé, I’m quite sure our wedding will be cancelled.”
Yasmine will now have to pay almost $400 (£310) for the procedure, which will take about 30 minutes. She has been saving up the money for several months, keeping it secret from her family and her fiancé.
The doctor who will carry out the procedure for Yasmine is a gynaecologist, whom we will call Rachid. He does two hymenoplasties a week, on average.
Rachid says 99% of his patients are motivated by the fear that they might otherwise bring shame to their family and relatives.
Many, like Yasmine, are seeking to disguise the fact that they are not virgins.
But hymens can tear for other reasons too, such as tampon use, leaving women worried that they may be accused, falsely, of having had sex before marriage.
“Gynaecologists do hymen repair. This is nothing exceptional,” Rachid says. “But here some doctors refuse to do it. I personally do it because I disagree with those who make virginity a sort of sacred thing.
“It really annoys me. This is a manifestation of a male-dominated society covered up in some religious principles. I mean it when I say it’s male dominance and I’ll continue to wage an all-out war against it.”
Tunisia is regarded as a leader in women’s rights in North Africa but religion and tradition here dictate that young women have to remain virgins until they are married.
There is also provision in Tunisian law for divorce in cases where women are discovered not to be virgins.
Sociologist Samia Elloumi says: “In this Tunisian society, which is an open society, we are becoming hypocritical.
“There is a sort of predominant social conservatism which is hard to justify because we claim to live in a modern society. But there’s not much modernity when it comes to women’s sexuality and freedom.”
At a public university, I meet Hichem. The 29-year-old student is getting married next year. I ask him if he cares whether his fiancée is a virgin.
“For me it’s very, very important,” he says.
“If I find out that she’s not a virgin after the wedding, I’ll never trust her again. I’ll consider it a betrayal. And I don’t believe in hymenoplasty operations. I don’t think it works.”
Sitting next to him is Radhouam, another student. He says that Tunisian tradition is too harsh on women.
“For me, this is pure hypocrisy,” he says. “Young men can freely have sex before marriage, so why do we blame young girls when they do so?”

Speaking recently at Harvesters International Christian Centre in Lagos, she said:
'You have to surround yourself with people who love and support you. I was blessed to have people around me; unfortunately these people are not family members. My mother didn’t take it lightly with me. I wouldn’t have handled it the way she did because I belong to a different generation. I was nurtured by people I met and they constantly reminded me that my life didn’t end with that bad situation.”
She continued to say:
'I felt I still remained who I was. I came from a very good home, not by
wealth but value. Education was not negotiable in my family. I didn’t
want that one mistake to define who I was. But it was quite difficult
for me because it was the talk of the town for quite a number of years'.
