Question

When I was a little girl some guy molested me I?m not sure how old I was, maybe around6,7; after that we came to America I?m now 16, anyways I?m very confused I don?t know if I should tell my parents, do I have to??? What if my future husband asks me if I?m virgin, then what???? Will I have to tell him about this before I marry???? I?m so confused; I think about this every day, I?m so hurt inside.... please help......

Answer

The referred abuse did not affect your virginity. There is no need to inform your future husband.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
