Riyadh, Saudi Arabia - Saudi religious scholars remain firm in their position that hymen-reconstruction surgery was "haram," or religiously forbidden, contradicting Egyptian clerics, the Saudi daily Okaz reported Thursday. "It is not permissible to repair a hymen broken as a result of immoral acts, in order to stop acts of immorality and deception," the International Islamic Jurisprudence Academy, an affiliate of the Jeddah-based Organisation of the Islamic Conference, ruled.
