I think you both are missing the point on purpose.
Genital mutilation is very common in North Africa and the resulting tearing provides the blood that proves virginity. While the families party it up downstairs, you just need to kick the gall off the bed, rip off the sheets off and go show off the mess to them. No cuddling for muslim newlyweds.
Of course Wikipedia is just a tool of the left, but according to it, most Islamic peoples don't agree with it.
The sheets out the window on the wedding night also seems to have occured in the recent past in much of southern Europe. Of course,
their being Muslim in southern Europe would explain it, don't you think!
Are you serious about southern europeans being muslims? Are you aware that you are insulting Portuguese, Spanish, French, Italians, Greek people?
Simply put, these were Mediterranean traditions (patriarchal). Some cultures got rid of it, some integrated it in its religious traditions...and got stuck in it.
