Application

Now as per the 1st policy I’m the main authority. Right?”

“Yes Sir.”

“Then following the 2nd policy, I can choose only one meaning of any word, right?”

“Right sir.”

“Thank you Momee. Now first look at the meaning of the term virgin. Is there anywhere it is said anything about a female’s hymen?”

“Please search again and confirm.”

“Yes Sir. … … There is nothing about hymen is mentioned about virgin sir.”

“So you agree that being a virgin is nothing to do with hymen, right?”

“Yes sir.”

“So even if a female’s hymen is torn during any activity, she can still be called a virgin right?

“Right sir.”

“I need you to clarify the whole thing to me in details.”

“Being a virgin doesn’t mean a female with intact hymen. Even if a female’s hymen is torn during any activity, she can still be called a virgin.”

“Good, remember it well. Now as an authority, I’m declaring that the word virgin will mean ‘a person who has not had sexual intercourse’.”

“OK sir. Umm that means, … I am still a virgin even if I’m married. Right sir?”

“Yes dear. You are still a virgin.”

“Thank you, sir for your great generosity. So as long as I don’t have sexual intercourse I will be a virgin?”

“Yes. But I’m obliged to add a clause with the word meaning. Right?”

“Yes sir.”

“So if you want to be defined as a virgin, what do you think will be the most suitable clause for you?”

“Sir can it be ‘excluding husband’. So the full meaning will be ‘a person who has not had sexual intercourse excluding husband’?”

“But my dear, that’s the exact thing which means that you are not a virgin. Because everyone knows that a wife does sexual intercourse with her husband. So I’m afraid I can’t agree to add that clause with the meaning. If there is any inspection from government with the HR policy and clauses, they will not accept this clause and think of me as a dumb person to agree to the most obvious exclusion. But I think you are on the right track. Just think a little bit more.”

“So, I’m on the right track. I’m thinking of husband. But husband can’t be exclusion. So husband should be an inclusion.”

“YES!! Yes good girl. Go on, think! Momee!! Think hard!!!”

“SIR, I got it. The clause should be ‘including husband’.”

“Very good, Momee. You are certainly a very bright girl. You can solve any problem if you are guided properly.”

“Thank You very much sir.”

“But ‘including’ is a broad term. I would appreciate if you can suggest a stronger word. Like ‘By’ or you know ‘With’.”

“The term ‘by husband’ sounds like being **** so I don’t like that. Sir may I choose the word ‘with’.”

“Are you sure you want to choose the clause ‘with husband’?”

“Yes sir.”

“So we are mutually agreeing that the word ‘virgin’ will only mean ‘a person who has not had sexual intercourse’ with additional clause of ‘with husband’. So the full meaning of the word ‘virgin’ will be?”

“A person who has not had sexual intercourse with husband.”
