It's Hard to Find Virgin Kenyan Girls Nowadays, Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu Laments

Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu says it is almost impossible to find virgin Kenyan girls in today's society.

Mwilu said unlike their days when almost all unmarried girl remained pure before getting married, things are different in today's society.

"It is difficult to find virgin girls nowadays unlike it was in our days. When you hold your horses and keep yourselves pure until you are officially married, you will enjoy the God given gift to the maximum. In marriage, you will not have an option of denying your husband because it is a conjugal right," she said while recently addressing students of St Martha's Mwitoti High School in Mumias.

The Vice President of the Judiciary advised girls to stop indulging in sexual behavior before they are married. She said engaging in sex exposes young girls to unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases.

 "Though your hormones are bubbling now, there is nothing trendy in having sex at this age because it exposes you to a lot of dangers like unwanted pregnancies which could interfere with your education. There is a right time for it and it will be readily available. The wait is worth," she advised. 

She urged young women to empower themselves through education. "Excellence in academics and character will guarantee you a prosperous future. You will have financial freedom and be admirable by many men. Husbands don't like women who bring nothing to the table," she counseled.
