You or someone you "heard" about the practice you refer to are in fact referring to the discredited works of Osama Abdullah, who while denigrating the Jewish and Muslim faiths used some reference in the Bible to prove this practice took place.
Incidentally the paragraph you posted in #33 can also be seen on this page

Not even your own words eh?
If the charge of the woman not being virginal was used to get out of the betrothal, a midwife would examine the woman. |
I can't speak for the Muslim faith, but that's certainly an archaic practise in the Jewish faith. It was a tradition that the sheets would be presented to the Bride's family. You know a lot of stuff Shasown :-)
Some people really are going the extra mile to crucify Dave.
