A Tajik man is suing his new wife for not being a virgin, an accusation the woman vehemently denies. The dispute has put the spotlight on the local tradition in Central Asia where premarital sex is deemed unacceptable.

DUSHANBE – Suhrob spent years working on construction sites in Russia to save money for his dream wedding back in Tajikistan.

But just weeks after a lavish ceremony in his home village on the outskirts of Dushanbe, Suhrob, 30, took his 22-year-old bride to court, claiming she wasn’t a virgin when they married and demanding that she reimburse the 50,000 somoni ($5,000) he spent for the wedding and dowry.

The bride and her family denied the accusation and countersued Suhrob for defamation, winning $1,000 in compensation for moral damages, according to documents obtained by RFE/RL from the Rudaki district court.

Suhrob has appealed the ruling.
