The "Virgin" Mary - Not so much?

There is actually no where stated in biblical texts that Mary and Joseph ever married, although one umes they did. However, at the time of Jesus' supposed conception, she and Joseph were only engaged, Not married. Since she and Joseph would not have had relations until after the birth and purification of Mary, Jesus was the product of a 'virgin birth'. Whether or not Mary and Joseph married and had other children is speculation and different translations and scholars will argue different things.
