What is the ruling on not informing a suitor about the loss of virginity due to sports, and is this considered deception and fraud? And what is the ruling on a girl presenting herself to a female doctor to examine her hymen if the suitor requests that?

If the husband stipulates that the wife must be a virgin, or if the prevailing custom considers the loss of virginity a defect, then the suitor must be informed of the true situation. It is not permissible to conceal the loss of virginity, because customary conditions are like verbal ones. If the loss of virginity is due to a jump, the suitor must be informed of that. As for medical examination for virginity, it is not permissible except in cases of urgent necessity.
