Jurisprudence on Virginity Surgery

Protecting hymen is related to sharia laws. Sharia law has stressed on protecting honor, virtue, chastity and purity. In jurisprudence, the person who removes the hymen must be punished. This study aimed to review the jurisprudence of restoration of virginity.

This study was based on a theoretical approach. It was conducted by studying the documents on this field and searching the topics on the hymen and virginity restoration in the jurisprudence.

Restoring virginity is allowed if the cause of hymen removing was rape, reluctant, falling, an accident or jump. If the cause of the hymen loss was based on marriage, repair is forbidden, whether she was divorced or widowed. If defloration is committed due to adultery with consent and is famous for adultery or she is not famous for adultery but without repentance, healing is not permitted. But if she repents, there are two chances for it, but considering the likelihood of deceiving the husband, the probability of forbiddance to repair is stronger.

Considering the importance of the topic, referring to the jurisprudence in the virginity reconstructive surgery is required.
