Montreal — The Quebec college of physicians has issued a warning to doctors to stop performing virginity tests, a practice linked to bridal purity and family honour.
Gynecological exams for virginity certificates contravene the profession’s code of ethics on several grounds, including breaching patient confidentiality, said Charles Bernard, president of the Collège des médecins, in an interview.
The practise is outrageous, repugnant, irrelevant and unacceptable, he said.
“Imagine a doctor who does a gynecological examination with the sole purpose of … it goes beyond the imagination. And it’s degrading to women,” Dr. Bernard said.
The College was responding to a study by two ethics specialists from the Université de Montréal who were called upon by a school nurse and other health professionals after five incidents of families seeking virginity checks in the last 18 months in Quebec.

For muslims???
I assume this is something Muslims are doing, right? Strange people.
Who else?
Muslim physicians are a standing menace to the medical profession and the public. Many of the men won’t treat women, many of them won’t sterilize with alcohol, some of the surgeons perform female circumcision, the list goes on....
I’m not certain why, but it just never occurred to me there was such a thing as a virgin frog
One needn’t be a rocket scientist to figure out that it’s largely,if not entirely,the Religion of Pieces that demands these tests.If I ever become the chief medical official of Quebec (not likely,my French is horrible) I’d tell them to go check the “purity” of their goats!
For Ignorants, or Muslims take your pick.
Oh' Stop beating around the bush....a fake test might save their lives...
Islam...cancer of the world...
A year or two ago there was a moslem physician on the staff of the Mayo Clinic (one of the finest medical centers in the world) who publicly,openly and vigorously supported female "circumcision".I read about about it and,having long experience in the medical field,I knew exactly who to call regarding the issue.I called that office and pointed out,in detail,just how repugnant that position was.The woman I spoke to said that her office was aware of the matter and was "investigating".Soon after my call I read that his admitting privileges at Mayo were terminated.I'd like to think that I played a small role in his dismissal.
The Quebecois are insisting on this?
Good grief. The entire false religion is degrading to women. This is likely the least of its offences, compared to, say, “honour” killing, beating, mutilation, rape.
Where are all of the feminists? They should be shouting about this false religion every day. They certainly attack Christianity without hesitation...but it’s not life threatening to go after Christianity. Not so with islam.
Silly me when I first saw that, I thought the tests were faulty.. I was going to suggest they return to the good old days of hanging the honeymoon sheets out the front windows.. That was just horrible, and it took days for that cut to heal.. :)
it goes beyond the imagination.

It sure does...
How can anything that attests to the good behavior and pure living of a girl be “degrading” ???
Its Biblical...Esther didnt mind...
What is there to be ashamed of ???
Are many of the girls being found to be sluts ???
Is that the problem ???
Good job !
It's amazing how many forget that it is Biblical.
Yes, it is Biblical, but it is not foolproof, and the reasons for which it is being used today are far from Biblical.
What’s the difference(s)?
Ah the local Taliban sympathizers show up. Only a matter of time.
The difference is that the physicians know that the test serves little medical purpose, but that the results thereof will serve as the pretext for an honour killing. This makes them complicit, if not legally, certainly morally.
When they start notching the vagina to keep track of the men that have been there, then I will worry about this.
