Central News Agency: “Virginity Verification” Required for Land Compensation

From The Central News Agency, via The Epoch Times:

An odd regulation in Beichan village, Dazu county, Chongqing province, China, now requires emigrant women laborers to have a medical exam for “virginity verification” if they desire to receive compensation for land requisition. Five unmarried women are at their wits-end with this regulation now in place.

As reported by Chongqing Evening News, Luo Wenhua, head of the second commune of Beichan village, held a meeting in early May among commune members to discuss the compensation plan for land requisition. In regards to the issue of unmarried women receiving compensation for land requisition, Luo demanded that Tan Shuying and four other unmarried women come back from their work outside town in order to have the “virginity verification” done. The medical results of the verification would determine whether they would get compensation.
