Let your fingers do the walking
I bet you are glad you are not getting married in the Indonesian military..
Why does Indonesia demand that female military recruits are virgins? - BBC News
Virginity tests are obligatory for female military and national police recruits who are typically high school graduates aged between 18 and 20. HRW's research indicates that the air force, army and navy have for decades also used the test on the fiancees of military officers before marriage.
Andreas Harsono was one of the HRW researchers who interviewed 11 Indonesian women, who were all military wives and female officers. He said they described two fingers being used to open the vagina while one finger was placed in the anus.
He said that on one occasion, when a woman told others waiting outside an examination room what had been done to her, all 23 applicants left.
He said that most were embarrassed by the procedure, and many were traumatised.
A female military physician told researchers that when she performed the tests in Jakarta, she found it difficult to persuade the women to take part. "It was not [just] a humiliating act... It was a torture. I decided not to do it again," she said.

Makes PV look positively benign. There are some pretty odd practices around the world but this beggars belief.
