In The Bible, if a young lady is not found to be a virgin, when she marries, she is guilty of whoredom. (Deuteronomy 22:13-21 ). Considering that most young ladies would like to be loved in their life, to be appreciated and cherished by a man, it is a very serious handicap, when a lady is guilty of having committed whoredom. Men in general, of all walks of life, are not very anxious to get married to someone who has been a whore. Now, since the Law of God is universal, and nature itself teaches it, even without having read the Bible, women and men do not think very highly of whoredom, regardless of their views on religion. Even atheists, or people without God, they are not very anxious to get married to a former whore.

The Bible decrees that the punishment for this kind of whoredom is death (Deuteronomy 22:13-21 ). Formerly (in biblical times), the nation of ISRAEL used to apply the biblical judgements, and girls who were not found to be virgins at the time of their marriage were stoned to death. Such punishment was set by God, not to destroy the lives of girls, but rather to save them. To discourage them from sinning, since sin causes death. (Ezekiel 18:4 ). Today, some nations (mainly islamic nations) still put to death girls who are guilty of this kind of whoredom. But for the most part, most of the world does not apply this punishment to such crime, but rather, encourages it through filthy music, filthy schools, filthy churches, filthy media in general, while at the same time, discouraging God's way to deal with raging hormones: Marriage. (1 Corinthians 7:9 ).

Today, if a girl has been guilty of whoredom, no Christian is going to put her to death. People commit all kinds of sins, without knowing the consequences, and God still loves them and finds no joy in the suffering of mankind because of sin. Sin has always consequences. If a girl has committed whoredom, she has a much much harder time finding a good husband, than a girl who kept herself a virgin until marriage. If a girl keeps committing her whoredoms, sleeping with guys without a marriage agreement, just for the fun of it, her eternal destiny might be in very serious danger, she could be cast into hell, if death finds her in this state. When a person falls into sin, because of the weakness of the will that is common to mankind, such a one would be in need of inmediate repentance, for his/her salvation's sake. God is more merciful than any man, and yet, He warns us very sternly, agaisnt sexual sins. (1 Corinthians 6:18 ).

Today, God has provided the means of forgiveness and salvation, to those who are guilty of sexual sins: Jesus, the only Perfectly Holy man who ever lived, was punished as the worst sinner ever, to die instead of all those sinners who will repent and believe on Him. So, any person who realizes that sexual sin is abomination, confesses and turns around from sin, and asks forgiveness from God, in the name of Jesus, has the promise of salvation, in the Bible. "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9 ). There are promises in the Bible, also, of eternal salvation, for all those who call upon the name of The Lord Jesus Christ: "The same Lord over all is RICH unto all that call upon him: For whosoever shall call upon the name of The Lord (Jesus Christ) shall be saved" (Romans 10:12-13 ). So, if you sin, do not delay it: Call inmediately upon the name of The Lord Jesus Christ, for forgiveness, and stop sinning. If you are a person who believes not in God, who sees nothing wrong with sex out of wedlock, The Bible would have warnings of eternal hell, for such attitude. (1 corinthians 6:9 ). Instead, if you repent of this kind of thinking, and fight against sin, even if you fall, God is able to raise you up again, and to save your soul. (1st John 5:1-4 ).
