Overview

Virgin: When Virginity is Questioned (Indonesian: Virgin: Ketika Keperawanan Dipertanyakan) is a 2004 Indonesian film, written by Armantono, directed by Hanny R. Saputra and produced by Starvision Plus. The film examines the struggle between sexuality and morality in modern Indonesia. It stars Laudya Cynthia Bella, Ardina Rasti and Angie. Released on 11 November 2004, the film achieved domestic ticket sales of 1.1 million and was later adapted into a television series of the same name. Plot Sixteen-year-old schoolgirl Biyan (Laudya Cynthia Bella) wants to be a writer and is determined to remain a virgin until marriage. Her determination is reinforced by the womanizing of her father, which has affected her mother (Henidar Amroe). Biyan hangs out with her schoolfriends Stella (Ardina Rasti) and Ketie (Angie). They belong to a group of materialistic teens who view virginity as old-fashioned and are not afraid to experiment with alcohol. Stella wants to get into acting but is tricked into appearing in a soft-core porn film, while Ketie prostitutes herself to older men in order to purchase consumer goods. Biyan attends an auction for the right to sleep with her idol, Merix. After Biyan outbids a gay man, Merix confides that he has never slept with a woman because he is embarrassed about his small penis. Reception Because the film contains nightlife and promiscuity, it was pulled from distribution in Makassar.

Notable quotes

“Narrated 'Aisha: I asked the Prophet, "O Allah's Messenger! Should the women be asked for their consent to their marriage?" He said, "Yes." I said, "A virgin, if asked, feels shy and keeps quiet." He said, "Her silence means her consent."”
— Aisha, Sahih Bukhari, 9:85:79
“If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found; Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.”
— Deuteronomy 22:28-29 (KJV)
“If any one saith, that the marriage state is to be placed above the state of virginity, or of celibacy, and that it is not better and more blessed to remain in virginity, or in celibacy, than to be united in matrimony; let him be anathema.”
— Council of Trent, 11 November 1563; (reg):, CO Now LLC, Chicago. "~The Council of Trent – Session 24~". Retrieved 7 November 2016.
“Virginity is now a mere preamble or waiting room to be got out of as soon as possible; it is without significance. Old age is similarly a waiting room, where you go after life’s over and wait for cancer or a stroke. The years before and after the menstrual years are vestigial: the only meaningful condition left to women is that of fruitfulness.”
— Ursula K. Le Guin, “The Space Crone,” The Co-Evolution Quarterly (Summer 1976).
“A woman who pollutes a damsel (unmarried girl) shall instantly have (her head) shaved or two fingers cut off, and be made to ride (through the town) on a donkey.”
— Manu Smriti, Chapter 8, Verse 370.
“It is one of the superstitions of the human mind to have imagined that virginity could be a virtue.”
— Voltaire, Notebooks (c.1735-c.1750).
