I have to bleed on my wedding night. But does that always happen? I’m still a virgin.

A minority of the women bleed the first time they have intercourse. So don’t expect this to happen. In many cultures the blood stained bed sheet are seen as proof of prior virginity. But this is not a reliable indicator. There’s only blood if the hymen tears. But there are women who have no hymen to begin with, women whose hymen is torn in childhood and women whose hymen only tears with childbirth. Also it’s good to know that a hymen may not bleed when broken. Given these facts it’s sad that women all over the world are still expected to bleed as sign that they are pure. In cultures where blood is expected women have resorted to various tricks, like use of a sponge with animal blood hidden in their vagina or cutting themselves. This fraud is one of the reasons the myth continues and many people still think that a virgin always bleeds when her cherry is popped. So it’s good that you think about this issue beforehand and decide how you will handle it.
