No! She's not a virgin anymore! I also question that thing why other people still call her a virgin? where in fact she's not virgin anymore! Maybe the right term for her is BLessed Mary not Blessed virgin Mary.... I don't want to offend someone...This is just what I believe for!

While we don't know for sure, it is very probable. The Bible refers to Jesus' brother(s). So, contrary to the Catholic doctrine of perpetual virginity, it is a very real possibility.

well she was married to Joseph for so many years ..i can't see somehow of her having a celibate marriage after that..wouldn't think it to be normal..but i am not sure if she was or not..this is a very controversial topic and there are theories that Jesus had brothers and sisters..but will we ever know for sure?
