Please get this into perspective. Muslim women as well as those of many other cultures have no realistic chance of marriage and a future if they have lost their virginity before marriage. Of course the promiscuous and worldly realise that and such "reconstructions" are widely available in the Middle East in order to pretend that we are all lily white. In the UK the figure of 30 operations performed in 2009 reflects the society's recognition of the personal problems of women who have a problem with this. My bet is that with the problems faced by asylum seekers in leaving their own countries to arrive in the UK many will have been raped and so considered dishonoured. Who will blame anyone who will help innocent victims of their original culture? Exiled saint ffs stop trying to insult others without sparing a thought why highly educated people from your own society think that this is a wise spending of UK NHS funding.
