Most people are used to call Mary, mother of Jesus Christ as virgin. But, does she maintain her virginity after marrying Joseph?
No doubt, Mary kept her virginity all through out her pregnancy, as Matthew 1:25 stated:
"But he had no intercourse with her until she gave birth to a son; and he called his name Jesus."
Yet, after giving birth to Jesus, she then conceive Joseph's children as clearly read on Matthew 13:55. Jesus Christ have other brothers and sisters including James, Joses, Simon and Judas.
Luke 21:16 use terms like parents and relatives in Greek word "Adelfoi" which means brothers and sisters.
Hence, we could now concluded that it's not fit to call Mary virgin since she didn't literally kept her virginity all through out her life. She became a mom to Joseph's sons and daughters.
