news.com.au — France plunged into a heated debate about its marriage laws today after learning that a court had annulled the union of two Muslims because the husband said the wife was not the virgin she had claimed to be. Politicians, feminists and human rights activists denounced the verdict.

Virginity (or "just-a-few") was important to me, and I'm not muslim. There's a big difference between "I had sex with two or three guys I was really serious with" and "I was in a sorority and just wanted to have fun with a different boy every night... (etc.)"If a girl can't keep herself for someone really important, then what value does it have? Can she be trusted not to screw everyone she sees after getting married? I'm sure there are exceptions, but promiscuity is in general a pretty good indicator of future faithfulness.

For some people, once you put the word "muslim" into the topic, it becomes nothing about basic facts and all about how those scary brown people want to kill us for our freedoms.The guy divorced his wife for lying to him about a fundamental basis for their marriage, but since he's muslim, it becomes this big broohaha over how those bad brown people subjugate their wives and love to suicide bomb everyone else.It is sad that there are so many religiously bigoted people, not only here in America, but even in France.

But they said "muslim"Now nobody has to think rationally, they can insert all of their personal prejudice into the topic.

Marrying a virgin is supremely important to me. If I'm one, she better be one. I'm not marrying a whore.

Ad hominem attacks, is unfamiliar with christian doctrine, is ignorant of muslim doctrine, makes assumptions about peoples character, is overly concerned with his definition of "manliness". Are you a log cabin republican? You write like one.
