Today in Sri Lanka, there are still hundreds of brides who have to take a white cloth with them on their honeymoon. In our culture, the production of a blood stained cloth is accepted as a certificate of the bride’s virginity. This is an unreliable and an unscientific test, and many an innocent girl has had to suffer in vain due to the prevailing primitive custom and the ignorance & misconception on this subject that still prevail in our society.
