A priest in Brazil is refusing to marry women without a certificate to prove they are virgins.
Catholic priest Natal Antonio Mella, from Petrolina of Goias, only accepts certificates from doctors he appoints.
He publishes his decisions on whether he will marry would-be brides in his church newspaper.
Residents of the small town in the north of the country are said to be angry at his decision.
His bishop, Manoel Pestana, has told him to change his mind.
The priest told Terra Noticias Populares: "The church doesn't allow women who are not virgins to get married."
He says he will allow other priests to marry non-virgins in his church but says he won't perform the ceremonies himself.

You know, it's my understanding that it's ok if you've lost your virginity, as long as you've got the box it came in.

If any freeperettes are suffering from virginity, I would like to kindly inform them that for a small fee I am willing to dish out inoculations.

They all could have been "accidents"...
Why don't you tell them that? I had a girlfriend a long time ago (ALL of my girlfriends were a long time ago, but that's another boring story) whose mom used to tell her she was only born because the spermicide didn't work. Her mom thought this was hilarious. The girlfriend found it boring after the first million times she heard it.
