There was outrage that virginity could be seen as grounbds for annulment, although some narrow legalistic interpretations focused on the lying part were brought forward (and then rejected by many on the grounds that virginity should not be a fundamental issue and making it so was degrading to women).
So they don't get an annulment and now will divorce. In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
They both wanted the marriage annulled. He was a dumbass for insisting on the virginity thing. She was a dumbass for wanting to get married to a guy who insisted on that. The outraged dumbasses who raised hell about this were dumbasses. And the court which finally cancelled the cancellation was full of dumbasses. A 'centrist' is someone who's neither on the left, nor on the left.
