Does having anal sex remove status as besula?

Question:

If one has had anal sex before marriage more than once, with a Jew, full penetration, are they still considered a besula?

Answer:

She is not considered a besula and therefore cannot marry a Kohen Gadol.

  1. My fiance has had anal sex without knowing that it was considered the same as vaginal. She stopped and did teshuva at that time. She is not interested in having a wedding if they don’t say besula at the wedding. What can be done? Thank you
