What constitutes a female as a besula?

Question:

If a female had anal penetration (not fully and for maybe one second) from a male one time, but never vaginal, is she still considered a besula?

Answer:

Regarding her kesuba she would still be considered a besula. However if the person who made the penetration was a not Jewish, then marrying a cohen may be problematic.
