Amina Inloes's response to I am 17 and accidentally broke my hymen at 11, which I didn't tell anyone about. Now that I want to get engaged and married, I am worried that if my future husband learns about it, he will think I am not a virgin. What should I do in this situation?

There isn't a specific answer to this, but when you are actually about to get married, it would be good to discuss your concerns with a trusted older woman (such as a female relative or trustworthy friend) who knows your situation and environment best, and is able to give advice about the marital bed.

These things happen, and I am sure everything will work out for the best!
