Best Answer

A hymen is a fold of skin/mucous membrane in a girls vagina. A broken hymen was usually a sign of intercourse and a way of checking if a girl is a virgin.

Nowadays however, it's generally acknowledged that a broken hymen alone is not proof of intercourse as it can break doing gymnastics, horse or bicycle riding, or for several other reasons.

The size and texture of the hymen can vary greatly, and can in some cases be completely absent from birth.

The word Hymen itself is derived from a god in the ancient greek mythology, Hymenaios (alternative spellings: Hymen or Hymenaeus). He was the god of the wedding hymn (the song sung to or by the bride and groom at the wedding).
