Rejected petition Make the selling of "virginity tests" illegal in the UK, and prosecutable by law

The sale of so-called "virginity tests" should be made illegal in the UK, and businesses or people who sell these should be prosecuted as this is neither morally nor ethically correct.

More details

Given that the BBC recently found 21 "clinics" who sell these and the fact that the UK has made FGM illegal, the same should apply to the sale of these "virginity tests".
