It's all about the traditions. If you strongly care the traditions and you're living in some village on the shore close to Muqdisho, it's important. But if you're living at London/New York/Paris/Shanghai the virginity can mean:
1) The person has a repulsive treats of character or repulsive appearance so nobody wanted to have a sex with him/her
2) The person has a mental "features" so nobody wanted to have a sex with him/her
3) The person is so strongly forced to stay virgin with the family (or just been bullyed) ... well you got it, it's quite close to mental "features"

Also if your wife/husband are virgin that means that he/she is totally unskilled at the bed and, moreover, has a hidden pervert ideas (because of years of abstinence) and I'm strongly not recommending you to deal with that person due to the obvious danger.
