Brelyn Bowman, a new bride in Maryland presented her father, who is a pastor with a certificate of purity on her wedding day. She said this was a pledge she made to God when she got saved to keep her body as a temple for the Lord according to 1Cor.6:20 which says;
Do you not know that your body is the temple of the holyspirit which is in you?whom you have received from God? You are not your own. You were bought at a price, therefore glorify God in your bodies.
She also said that she did it in order to surprise her father and assure him that she has kept her purity.
Her father told the press that he wasn't aware of his daughter's intention of presenting him with the certificate earlier. He said his daughter wanted to honor him by not allowing any man to touch her before her husband.
The full details of the certificate reads;
On the 10th day of May, 2006, I, Brelyn Freeman, made a vow to glorify to glorify God in my body and spirit which are God's because I was bought with a price(Jesus). I have kept this commitment and present this certificate to my father Dr.Michael A Freeman to show how I have honored God and my earthly father in my body by maintaining my purity and that my hymen is intact on this 10th day of October, 2015.
On the contrary, the act has attracted mixed reactions from people as different opinions were being discussed concerning the issue of virginity. Some were of the opinion that such an issue should be a private thing between the bride and her husband, that the sex life of a couple should not be an open
subject of discussion in the public.
Some medical practitioners were also of the opinion that the amount of hymnal tissue is not a true indicator of virginity.
