Summary/Abstract: In this essey, I report about the virgin statute and the significance of that, in the context of the romanian traditional wedding ceremony. Next, I relate the spiritual state purpose to be an immaculate girl for starting a new family and the way that a virgin becomes a good wife. My arguments are specific rules of the traditional mentality of the twenty-first century Romanians. These are the age of the future wedded pair, the space, the time, how the young people are playing each other and the family and community attitude on virginity.
