If "Mary" was a vigin (bible lady) was married, then why was she still a virgin? Did her marrage just have some really big problems in it, or was she like that lady on Jerry Springer, who had been married for 5 years, yet she had never had sex with the man she married?

Mary and Joseph were not yet married when Mary was with child. This is why she was shunned and they had to leave and go to Bethlehem. They were betrothed. (Engaged to be married.)

First we need to clear few tings. According to Bill clinton oral sex is not a sex and Christians in US agree with that. WHich mean Mary could just simply be oral addict.
Second she was only 14. So her hasband was not cruel as GOD to rape her. He was waiting.
In now days trough implants VIrgin females can give birth which trows away their idea of Virgin Mary. SO its the father and not the virginity that caused Jesus. And if you notice mroe and mreo Christians going away from the virginity idea.
And for the last VIrgin mary became Virgin only several centuries later. That idea was incureged by Church not by writers.
Therefore GOD and virginity do exist.
look at the answer "She wasn't married yet when she was pregnant with Jesus
"
Wow how cool than most dedicated Christians never even read the bible. Stupidity is like infinity and Christians just keep growing it.
And one mroe thing to Add. DOn't ask US Christians those ppl even have no clue what the original text says. ALl they know as Translation.
Original text says Young woman, never said anything about virginity. How convinietly it was translate but who could know since us Christians are most illiterate ppl.

Virgin mary was not a virgin. Back in those days women got stoned for having sex out of wedlock or messing around on their husbands and in some country's they still do. So this girl mary decided she didn't want stoned to death and made up this elabrate story and because everyone was such a religious fanatic back then, they believed her.

Mary and Joseph were engaged when the immaculate conception occurred. Mary was a good Christian girl = no sex before marriage which means that she was waiting for her wedding night.

Mary was only a virgin until Jesus was born. After that she had many sons and daughters by Joseph her husband.

Luke 1:26-80; Isa 7:15. She was pregnant BEFORE she got married, and NO she did not have pre-marital sex, that was a stoning taboo.

She wasn't married to Joseph yet. SO she was a virgin still.

She was 'betrothed' to Joseph when he found her to be with child. They were not married yet. He did not consummate his marriage until after she delivered. Then she was no longer a virgin.

She wasn't married when Jesus was born. That's why she had to be so careful because she could've been stoned to death for being pregnant while not being married.

Does it make any difference?
Just accept people for who they are.
Look up Hebrew translation for the meaning of virgin if that will help.
