Engagements are supposed to be full of love and happiness, but for one woman, her fiancé’s shocking request ruined everything, leaving her questioning their entire future together.
A 22-year-old woman, deeply in love, thought her 25-year-old fiancé was her perfect match. They had been planning their life together, and he proposed eight months ago. Now, with just two days until their small, intimate wedding, everything seemed to be falling perfectly into place.
But just before their big day, he made a request so outrageous, it turned her world upside down.
He asked her to allow his father to inspect her hymen in front of his brothers and uncles to confirm she was a virgin.
“I am a virgin, and so is he,” she shared. “He wanted to wait until marriage, and I agreed. But what he asked for this time… I couldn’t believe it.”
At first, she thought it had to be a joke. “He told me before that in his family, the father checks the bride’s virginity the night before the wedding,” she explained. “I thought it was a joke.”
But he wasn’t kidding. He said it was a tradition in his family to confirm the bride’s purity. It was their way of ensuring the woman was “worthy” before she married into the family.
The woman felt shocked and disgusted. How could the man she loved ask her to go through something so humiliating? She felt torn—her fiancé, the man she thought she knew, was asking her to participate in a bizarre and degrading ritual.
She tried to reason with him, but he was firm. “This is how it’s done in my family,” he insisted. “If you love me and have nothing to hide, you should do it. What’s the big deal?”
Her heart broke at his words. She couldn’t believe he was trying to justify it. “If you’re truly a virgin, you should have no problem going through with it,” he said, almost accusingly.
Tears filled her eyes as she left, unable to believe what was happening. She loved him, but how could she marry someone who would demand something like this? That night, she went to her friend’s house, torn between her love for him and the horror of his request. She lay awake for hours, unsure of what to do.
The next morning, she gathered her courage and met with her fiancé. She hoped he had come to his senses. She looked him in the eyes and said firmly, “I won’t do it. You need to respect my decision.”
But he didn’t back down. Instead, he dug in even more, making her feel like she was the one at fault. “If you refuse, it makes me think you’re hiding something. Maybe you’re not as pure as you say you are,” he accused.
Her heart dropped. He was twisting her refusal into something sinister, accusing her of lying. She stayed calm, trying to explain her feelings, but his anger only grew.
“This is how things are done! If you have nothing to hide, just do it!” he shouted, frustration and anger dripping from his words.
The woman felt devastated. How had things come to this? She had believed that love would make him stand up to his family and protect her, but instead, he was turning against her.
Then, in a shocking moment of fury, he slapped her across the face.
She froze, stunned, unable to believe what had just happened. The physical pain was nothing compared to the emotional devastation she felt. The man she had planned to marry, the one she thought she loved, had just shown a side of himself she could never have imagined.
“I don’t need to prove anything to you,” he spat, his voice full of anger and contempt.
In that instant, she knew the wedding was over. She couldn’t marry him. She had seen who he truly was, and there was no going back. Heartbroken, she walked away, tears falling freely now. She would not be part of this family, nor would she sacrifice her dignity.
Devastated, she went to stay with her friend, trying to process the nightmare she had just lived through. She shared her story online, hoping to find support and clarity in the midst of her pain.
When others heard her story, they were shocked. Some even thought it was too outrageous to be real, doubting the truth of her experience. But she confirmed every detail, leaving people horrified by the twisted family tradition and the man she had almost married.
In the end, she walked away from the relationship, choosing to protect herself and her future, no matter how much it hurt.
