In Judaism there is the concept of 'niddah'. When a woman menstruates, she is forbidden to have marital relations with her husband from the time the bleeding starts until 7 days after it stops.

These laws are pretty complex; not just in what, and how, but also in terms of understanding the calculations involved.

For example, there are certain days when marital relations are not allowed based upon the timing of previous menstrual periods, when it is predicted to happen etc.

Obviously this is more complex than can be answered in a short paragraph, though gives you an indication of why some serious study is required before a marriage!
