I've got to side with willravel on this one. I really don't see how the virginity or lack thereof is relevant. As shocking as it is, there are some cultures that still place an emphasis on such things. It was her choice to represent herself as something she isn't and this is the result of that. It sounds like everyone is more or less getting what they want out of it. Why does it have to be turned into some sort of feministic thing?
As far as I can see, there is absolutely no gender issues here. The guy is religiously opposed to marrying a woman who isn't a virgin, which is cool. I mean, sure it's a bit backwards and anachronistic, but it's his choice. I'm against marrying a woman over 40. The sole reason it's an issue is because she lied about it. Therefore he entered into a contract under false pretenses and she has committed fraud. Where does she become the victim?

For legal and religious reasons an annulment may be more desirable in some situations. Also, an annulment means no alimony or other costly and time consuming divorce proceedings. It's the marriage's undo button.
