ABSTRACT
Le christianisme et la morale qui en découle ont fait de la virginité l’objet d’un culte exceptionnel. Quasiment inconnue de l’Ancien Testament, méprisée des païens qui n’en forgent que des caricatures, falsifiée par les hérétiques, la virginité est le lot de la seule église chrétienne, affirme Marie-Odile Métral dans Le mariage. Les hésitations de l’Occident.
