Thato Jessica, a young lady, has bemoaned how she ended up divorced despite being a virgin when she married her husband.
The divorcee remarked this on Twitter while debating if virginity benefits the man in a union more than the woman.

@thato_jessica replied; “Not offensive, I believe he was not… come to think of it, we we’re really taught to disregard a man’s virginity 🤔”
One @Jayden_Tha also asked; How was your character in that marriage. That plays a part as well in staying in the marriage. If your character was horrible, and you only had virginity with you, surely you wouldn’t stay in that marriage
