I am referring to a specific case of virginity, that imputed to the BVM, who is believed by some Christians to have wickedly defrauded her lawful spouse.
I think better of her.

Which Christians believe that the BVM "wickedly defrauded her lawful spouse"?
Since Catholics believe that to refuse to pay the marriage debt without just cause is a grave sin, and we also believe that the Blessed Virgin never sinned, you can't possibly mean us.
Your comments, sir, are way over the line into incredibly offensive territory.

In some profound way, sexuality images God. "In the image of God created He him. Male and female created He them." Believing she was a true and faithful wife to Joseph in no way impugns Mary's holiness. Rather, treating her husband in a righteous way is the holiest thing a wife can do.
* Are you suggesting that the perpetual virginityy of Mary would mean she treated Joseph Unjustly?
How is such an idea compatible with Mary's freedom from Sin?
