I come from India, which is kindof undergoing a sexual and feminist revolution. Many females are having sexual relations, flings, ons etc. before marriage. Conventionally, this was not the case until a decade, due to the culture and society. A very less percentage of women had dating and relationships, seldom sexual relations. It was generally an arranged-marriage scene, where after a certain age, parents usually fixed whom you marry etc. But since around a decade, girls are having relationships, dating lives, flings, ons etc. before marriage. I dont have a say in how the society should be etc. But this has increased the incidents of infidelity and cheating in marriages, where the girl generally cant let go of her ex-bf or some friend and has extra marital affairs with him post marriage. Divorce is also not so easy as in western countries and the law favours women and has caused men to suicide etc.

This has created a view among men to find and have a wife who has not had dating & sexual relationships before marriage (one can usually find such girls in small town and villages). Seeing around me, I feel I should find a wife/partner with no past etc. But when I told this to my friend, he says that you study in a college and even though of your education, you still have the retarded thinking like an illiterate person, focusing on past/virginity of a girl rather than her other qualities, compatibility and job etc. Am I wrong here. Have I gone hyper-into this such that I am not able to see beyond past of a girl. Like, should I be fine with marrying irrespective of past (not someone with high body count, but 1-2 maybe) as theyre changed and have a good job/education etc. Tbh, I think, someone with no job/good education is fine if shes faithful & feminine and does not have past. Am I wrong and too retarded here.

I know there is an article in the side bar about it, where it says to see the pattern of the girl and not fixate on her past if she`s being good. But I am genuinely confused. Please help me with your views.
