Most scholars agree on the point that the past of both partners should be just that: the past. But some Arab countries marriage contracts do include the wording that defines the bride's status -virgin or otherwise.She should have been honest and told him the truth. If he is such an idiot and couldn't even shield her from his family's ridicule and consider her feelings until the divorce is through, he doesn't deserve any respect from her.
