BC>we Jews have a hard time understanding how a Jewish Husband and Wife failed to complete their marital responsibilities and consummate the marriage.
s>This explains the answer, at least in part.
Christian Tradition also says that Mary consecrated her virginity to God at a young age. This vow was undoubtedly known to Joseph prior to his decision to betroth her. Being a just man, Joseph never had any intention of asking Mary to violate her vow, or to profane what had been consecrated to God.

Man's Tradition is interesting but is is contrary to the Holy Word of G-d.
Matthew 1:18 This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother
Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they
came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.Matthew 1:19 Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not
want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.Matthew 1:20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord
appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David,
do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because
what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.Matthew 1:21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name
Jesus, [Jesus is the Greek form of Joshua, which means the
YHvH saves (Yahu'shua). ] because he will save his people from their
sins."Matthew 1:22 All this took place to fulfil what the Lord had said through the prophet:
Matthew 1:23 "The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son,
and they will call him Immanuel" [Isaiah 7:14] which means, "God with us."Matthew 1:24 When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had
commanded him and took Mary home as his wife.Matthew 1:25 But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son.
And he gave him the name Y'shua(He saves).
Matthew 1:25 indicates that Joseph and Miriam had relations after the birth of Y'shua.

No it doesn't, as it was explained to you each time you post this lie.
The origian for "till" (or "until" in your mickey-mouse translation) is "eos" and if you do a search for that word in the Greek original you will discover that it is used both when the situation changed to the opposite, as would be indicated by our "until", and also when it did not change at all, as "till", or "even to" would. The same Matthew, for example, writes that the field where Judas killed himself is called Field of Blood even to (eos) this day. Did they rename the field after Matthew wrote the Gospel?
We cannot infer anything about Mary and Joseph after Mary gave birth to Jesus.
You had multiple opportunities to educate yourself. I remember correcting you on this before. Please, stop lying about the Gospel.
