Now here's a good question (from a netfriend):

Oh GAWD I will regret sinking into a science and the bible debate, but one thing I have never got a straight answer about is, what is this test for virginity referred to in Deut. 22? It had better be a good test...the girl's life depended on it!

Don't say if she bleeds. I'm not even going to acknowledge your existence if you think all women bleed the first time they have sex. If that's your answer, don't even bother posting it. So, my question being directed to those whose grasp of medical science goes beyond ancient tribal hysterias and fetishes, what was this test?
