NEW DELHI (Reuters) - A popular south Indian actress has been pelted with sandals, tomatoes and rotten eggs and hauled before court for telling Indian men not to expect their brides to be virgins anymore.

Khushboo, a 35-year-old star of Tamil language movies, told a magazine in September there was nothing wrong with premarital sex -- as long as it was protected sex.

She is now out on $100 bail (58 pounds), and banned from making any more public comments or giving interviews.

The married mother of two is due back in court in a little over two weeks, although it remains unclear whether or not she has broken any law.

Initially, Khushboo's comments went unnoticed. But a week later, Tamil-language Sun TV, based in the southern state of Tamil Nadu, ran a story of film industry outrage.

Sun dominated Tamil television without rival for 15 years -- until Khushboo came along, hosting a game show on the rival Jaya network which quickly became the most popular Tamil show.

The controversy was picked up by conservative political and community groups, who staged rowdy demonstrations and filed more than two dozen defamation and public interest suits, including one accusing her of "corrupting innocence".

　　印度一位著名女演员因一句“不要再期望你们的新娘是处女”而引起了轩然大波。

　　现年35岁的库什布是印度著名的电影演员，已是两个孩子的母亲。9月，她对一家杂志表示，只要是安全的，婚前性行为就没有任何过错。最初，库什布的言论并没有引起人们的关注。但一周以后，经印度阳光卫视的大肆渲染，库什布开始陷入巨大麻烦之中。印度保守的政客和社团组织成员指责她的言论是对伊斯兰的亵渎，也违背了印度传统的道德价值观，应该遭到惩罚．

　　目前，库什布已缴纳了100美元的保释金，并被禁止公开发表言论或接受采访，两周以后出庭接受审讯。

　　印度对于性这个问题非常保守，有调查显示，大多数印度男子处女情结非常严重，希望自己的妻子在结婚前是处女，并拒绝与婚前有过性行为的女子结婚。
