Mary's MOTHER was the virgin, to be "pure" enough to birth Mary.
Mary had been already married, with children. before Jesus and Joseph.
The "modern" bible, and cult, is the result of centuries of bowdlerized translations, and sycophants playing "telephone" with each other. Look up the "Jefferson" and "Genesis" bibles, just a few hundred years ago.
Unfortunately, you don't know the first thing about the history and transmission of the bible except what you've picked from the internet. There is no such thing as the "telephone game" idea when translating from extant manuscripts to another language.
That in itself tells me that you are completely ignorant of the process and the history of the text.
