The answer

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.
