The answer

The hymen is very thin, and its rupture usually does not cause difficulty, severe bleeding, or intense pain, unless the woman tenses up. This may vary from one girl to another, as some have an elastic hymen that does not rupture until childbirth. Sometimes virginity can be lost without intercourse, yet the woman remains a virgin in reality and in ruling. The wife's pain from the first intercourse indicates her chastity. Therefore, one should not succumb to obsessive thoughts.
