The teaching that Mary died a virgin is as preposterous

Why? Nobody has ever died a virgin?

>>Why? Nobody has ever died a virgin?<<

Two things:
1. Not married women.
2. There is no reason whatsoever to suggest that she did. At least not in the bible. Not one. I honestly do not understand what would compel a person to even teach such claptrap. I can see a new Christian reading the bible and maybe getting a first impression that that may have happened, but further reading, or discussion with anyone with an adults understanding of His word would put that idea to bed soundly.
