Women Virginity

[Raja Adeeb Ur Rehman]

QUESTION:
A woman got divorce after wedding night because she didn’t bleed, her husband accused her for zina but she never did wrong in her life. There is tradition putting white cloth on bed to check the bride bleed or not if she didn’t then she get divorced. What Islam say about this.

ANSWER:
This is absolutely prohibited and has nothing to do with Islam!

If it is to prove that she is virgin and to get the blood on it, this is sinful and a disgrace for the woman and her family.

If a woman does not bleed after intercourse, this does not mean that she is not a virgin, as not every woman bleeds after intercourse!

The vast majority of virgins don’t bleed nowadays either due to the nature of the hymen that doesn’t break from the first night or due to the fact that it was broken due to playing sports, bicycle riding etc. If he accused her of zina, she must take him to the muslim court where he either produces 4 make witnesses that had seen her fornicating with a man or he will be flogged 80 lashes for slandering a Muslim woman!

What's your take on this?
