re: Does it matter if someone you want to marry is a virgin or not?
It’s not trolling. And I’m not justifying such views…but Edal is not the only one who holds them…so do many other men…so do some women. There are mothers out there who will sternly warn their daugthers to keep their legs locked for fear of badnami and spinsterhood…but if their sons fall from grace, it’s brushed off with “Haan ab kya karain? Larkay to larkay hotay hain.” And you will even find some mothers who will place greater blame on the girl their son impregnates “Oh she must have lured/trapped him. She’s probably a tramp. Who knows whose bacha she’s carrying.” Yes, I know that not all women/mothers think this way…but the point I’m making is that society’s double standards are perpetuated by both genders. You don’t have to be a troll to uphold such dangerous views. Again, Edal is not a troll. Which makes it worse right?
