'Virgin Means Unmarried Girl': Bihar Minister 'Clarifies' On Bizarre Form | Read
A virgin is a girl who is unmarried, says Bihar's Health Minister Mangal Pandey in a bizarre comment that was meant to justify a government hospital form that requires doctors and other staff to declare their virginity or the number of times they have been married. "I have looked up 'virgin' in the dictionary. It means kanya, kunwari (girl, unmarried) Punya Bhumi...I don't see anything objectionable in this," said Mr Pandey on Thursday.
