Given below are two statements: Statement I: The presence or absence of hymen is not a reliable indicator of virginity. Statement II: The hymen is torn during the first coitus only. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:Statement I is true: the presence or absence of the hymen is not a reliable indicator of virginity or sexual experience. Statement II is false: the hymen is often torn during the first coitus, but it can also be broken by a sudden fall or jolt, insertion of a tampon, or active sports such as horse-riding and cycling; in some women it persists even after coitus. So Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
