Mary had several children after she carried Jesus. When the Angel told Joseph to not hesitate to take Mary as his wife though she carried the Holy On of God, he could not have known all the vagaries of the process. He would not have known the means by which God placed Jesus in Mary’s uterus, but if he believed God, and the indications are that he did, then he would have relied upon the INTEGRITY of God that Mary was still a virgin. The Bible tells us that he knew her not until after the brith of Jesus. Joseph had every expectation of Mary’s virginal status when he married her and I believe when he consummate their marriage vows. Hence, God di not defraud Joseph in the conception of Jesus nor the birth of Jesus. I choose to believe this because it fits the Character of My God who would not defraud Joseph, did not defraud Joseph in the conceptuion of Jesus, either.
The Bible does NOT tell us when the wedding ceremony took place.
Before or After the birth of Jesus?
If before; could not Joseph (I'm gonna get in trouble here) have checked her out before the birth?
