There was no sexual intercourse. You answered your own question. Do you actually read your questions before you click "send"?

Mary and Joseph did not have premarital intercourse. That's why it's called the 'virgin birth.' Jesus is the Son of God.
Also, they were engaged. In those days that was as official as a marriage was, the difference being that there could be no intercourse until the official wedding had taken place one year after the engagement.

See we just learned at church that premarital sex isn't a sin. God doesn't say that we CAN'T have sex before marriage, He says that He would prefer us not to have sex before marriage because He doesn't want us to get hurt. Once you have sex with someone then a piece of them stays with you for the rest of your life regardless if you want it to or not. Plus, if you actually read the Bible it says that she was a virgin, and they were married by the time that Jesus was born, so He wasn't born out of wedlock, and even if he was it wouldn't matter because Joseph wasn't his father in the first place.

Mary and Joseph DID NOT HAVE SEX TO MAKE JESUS!!!!!!! God impregnated her by the Holy Spirit! An angel came to her in a dream telling her that GOD placed a seed in her that would be Jesus. It doesn't matter if they were not married because God was the one who put the seed in her. It's not a sin, if God did it!

Mary never actually had sex with God. It was by mirculous conception. Technically she was still a virgin.
Joseph was married to her for a year before she had Jesus and never touched her until after Jesus was born.

They were engaged when GOD impregnated Her through the Holy Spirit. It is generally thought they were married by the time Jesus was born.

You mean Mariam giving birth to Isa(PBUH*)? Isa(PBUH*) is a prophet of ALLAH. Mariam was a virgin and was pure. She didn't commit any sins among her people so she was blessed to be the mother of one of the greatest prophets of Islam.
