‘virginity tests’ prior to being admitted to universities.

medical examination to prove that she is a Miss.Therefore, each girl must present an official
document upon being admitted to university stating she’s a Miss,” said Agina, with ‘Miss’ being a
censored way to refer to the woman as a virgin.
“No one should be upset by this decision,” said Agina in the interview, adding that the tests would
help reduce the number or ‘urfi marriages’ in Egypt. “If you’re upset then that means you’re scared that
your daughter is [or was] in an ‘urfi’ marriage behind your back.”
