Virginity Test Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

The next day of the wedding,
The groom came out and shouted,
‘I won't accept her as a wife.'
Flashing a snowy bed-sheet
At the girl's parents and others,
‘See how not a single strain of blood!
It means she hadn't been a virgin.'
The case was referred to caste custodians,
Who gave thrashing to the girl
And ordered her parents
To pay the groom compensation.
Fearing crude virgin test
Parents marry girls below fifteen.
Burst of hymen can be
From sports and play also.
It happens in rural areas.
No willing to expel ignorance;
No mind to rescue innocence.
Must India be proud of its culture?
