Mary wasn't a virgin. She lied in order to avoid being stoned to death. She cheated on her husband and got pregnant.
You have to remember, in that time, it was illegal for a woman to cheat on her husband.
There was a story going around during that time, about a great savior who was going to be born unto a virgin.
Put 2 and 2 together, and you have the original story of the immaculate conception.

Yes I do think that Mary was a virgin when she conceived Jesus. Joseph had a hard time believing her, but an angel visited him and reassured him. They were married before she gave birth, which means they were intimately involved. Therefore, she was not a virgin when she gave birth to Jesus. She also went on to have several more children, which Joseph fathered.

Yes, Mary was a virgin for awhile. But not always. Matt. 13:53-56: “When Jesus had finished these parables he left the district; and, coming to his home town, he taught the people in their synagogue in such a way that they were astonished and said, ‘Where did the man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers? This is the carpenter’s son, surely? Is not his mother the woman called Mary, and his brothers [Greek, a·del·phoi′] James and Joseph and Simon and Jude? His sisters [Greek, a·del·phai′], too, are they not all here with us?’” (On the basis of this text, would you conclude that Jesus was Mary’s only child or that she had other sons as well as daughters?)

Yes,Roman Catholics claim that Mary the Mother of Jesus was immaculately conceived(i.e., conceived without sin). However,with the exception of Christ,the Bible asserts that every human being is born in sin.(Romans 5:12). Mary was the most blessed among women.However,she was not sinless, and the bible makes this very clear in many ways. Like everyone else,Mary too needed a Savior.
Joseph,was second to know,after Mary,that she was going to have a baby that was not his. The angel said Mary was the most blessed of all women,declaring her,Rejoice,highly favored one, the Lord is with you;blessed are you among women!(Luke 1:28)
However, keep in mind it is idolatry to worship Mary. First of all,Mary was a human being,not God.The Bible commands us,"You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve'(Matthew 4:10)

Yes she was, when the holy spirit "overshadowed" her, and she because pregnant with the son of God. At first Joseph doubted, but God sent a dream to him to assure him that Mary was telling the truth, and that Joseph should not worry, but marry her and trust God.

I do not think she was a Virgin- I know she was - and when the angel came to Joseph- he believed her as well.

Yes
Joseph believed her after he had a dream given by God to tell him what was going on.

I think upon the conception of Jesus she was. She did get married so she did not die a virgin. The Bible tells us that at first Joseph was skeptical. Then an angel visited him and explained it all to him and he believed
