Why, then, is sex before mariage a sin?

It's not, because the story of Adam and Eve is just that...a story. A story meant to teach that has become twisted and turned around to sickening points. In fact, it has been twisted so much that in many early religions, women were not allowed to speak in church because of Eve's supposed wrong doings.

God started marriage when he brought the first human pair together as husband and wife. Then he gave them wise instructions for their own good. Whether they followed these wise instructions would determine whether they had an everlasting glorious future or no future at all. Both of them knew God’s instructions, but, sadly, they allowed selfishness to prevent them from obeying these guidelines. They chose to ignore the counsel and, as a result, their marriage and their lives collapsed like a storm-lashed house built on sand.
The Bible shows that marriage should be a lifelong relationship. God said, of the first pair, that the two “must become one flesh.” (Genesis 2:18, 23, 24) For the man there was to be no other woman, and for the woman no other man. God’s Son reaffirmed this, saying: “They are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has yoked together let no man put apart.” Only sexual unfaithfulness would be a just basis for breaking the marital bond.—Matthew 19:3-9.
What about sex before marriage?---
1 CORINTHIANS 6:18--"Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body."
HEBREWS 13:4__"Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge."
COLOSSIANS 3:5__"Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:"

They were considered married because God made Eve for Adam to be his wife.
