Virginity Certificate; Conflict of Ideas in the Area of Principles of Jurisprudence

Jurisprudence is the area of conflicting ideas. One of the subjects grasped by jurisprudence is the concept of virginity; a concept for which jurisprudential thoughts have faced each other regarding the basis of the permissibility or non-permissibility of obtaining a certificate. This research, using the descriptive-analytical method, states that some jurists, relying on the rule of dominance, the rule of appointment by custom is like appointment by text, and also the rule of necessity, hold that obtaining the certificate of virginity is permissible. At the same time, resorting to the above-mentioned rules to prove the validity of obtaining a virginity certificate is facing many theoretical challenges. Another jurisprudential point of view, which this article has tested the strength of the cited reasons in the evaluation scale, insists on the impermissibility of obtaining a virginity certificate. The forbiddence of looking and touching pudendum is the strongest jurisprudential reason of impermissibility. No-harm (la-zarar) rule is one of the most widely used jurisprudential rules to prove the impermissibility of obtaining a certificate. In addition, obtaining a virginity certificate from a girl is against justice and violates human dignity.
