So my cousin (who is 14) was raped and is now pregnant.
She insist on wearing her purity despite the pregnancy, my aunt is kind of against it, but doesn't want to upset my cousin after what has already happened.
So what are you opinions on it?
*PS i am not planning on telling my cousin what anyone says, I'm just curious as to what other people's opinions are*
In your cousins mind she may still believe that she is pure due to the fact that she did not give up her virginity on her own it was taken from her.
I think that it is right, its not her fault that she got raped and she didn't do it on purpose.
I think she can wear it. I also think its actually a really good idea. Its a reminder that she did nothing wrong, and that by giving up her baby she is doing everything right.
I am so proud of her. You tell her to wear that ring, because she is a good good person.
I'm sorry she was raped and am glad she opted for adoption instead of abortion. I hope she's not a Yahoo Answers user because she might find your question. A lot of girls who are raped consider themselves virgins. They didn't choose to have sex; they were robbed. I say if she wants to wear it great. A lot of people will think that's weird, but that's her decision.
yes it is appropriate. she did not have willing sex, so therefor she may think of herself as a virgin. what does it matter anyway
It's hard to say
But i do side with your cousin.
Its gotta be hard to be raped espically with the pregnancy... you wouldnt be able to escape... i wish her the best.
having a ring that denied it ever happened might make her feel better --- just as taking it off would be so final..
hope i helped.
Your cousin is 100% right!
Obviously it wasn't her choice to get pregnant, so she is FINE!
Her mother is kind of odd though, telling her to take it off... :/
i think because she was raped,thus didn't consent to sex, she is still a virgin.
she didn't GIVE her virginity to anyone, it was STOLEN
i think its totally up to her,and i think shes right to still call herself a virgin.
i hope her pregnancy goes well
Of course it is. (:
It's not her fault.
A purity ring shows that you are still a virgin and you don't plan on having consensual sex until you are married. If your cousin believes rape doesn't make her any less of a virgin than she should keep wearing it. If she feels that being raped make her not a virgin than she shouldn't wear it. I think that since it wasn't her fault she got raped that she is still a virgin and that she should keep her purity ring on as symbol to show people that even though she was raped and got pregnant she doesn't plan on it happening again and to show people that she's not gonna let them take advantage of her because of what happened.
If she has been raped she is not a virgin. But, it is not her fault either. I would say yes and if someone asks she can tell the story. I hope she is giving this child up. I wouldn't want to raise a child conceived in rape. It would be too hurtful!

I think your cousin is right.
Of course, it's not her fault. Some people are stupid and will probably judge her because they don't know her story, but who cares about them? So it's okay for her to wear it.
yes everyone who is willing to make that promise is perfectly able to wear a promise ring. the rape wasnt your fault
Of course she can still wear it. She didn't break any promise to herself. Her innocence was robbed from her.
