Part 5: Virginity Testing and Hymenoplasty Offences Virginity testing offences: England and Wales Section 137: Offence of offering to carry out virginity testing: England and Wales
Section 137(1) makes it an offence:
For a person in England and Wales to offer to carry out virginity testing in the UK, or to make an offer to carry out testing which has a sufficient jurisdictional connection, or
A UK national or habitual resident of England and Wales to make an offer to carry out virginity testing anywhere.
	Offering is included as a separate offence, so that people who are offering the service can be prevented from going ahead with testing and potential victims can be protected. Section 137(2) states that virginity testing has "sufficient jurisdictional connection" for the purposes of subsection (1)(a) if it is carried out on (a) a UK national, or (b) someone who is habitually resident in the UK.
	Subsection (3) gives the same meaning to "United Kingdom National" as section 136(4) and virginity testing has the meaning given by section 136(2).
