Has this tradition died out altogether?
Was it ever much of a tradition in the first place?
Is the traditional concept of marriage a thing of the past also?
It is alive as long as Christianity is, and Catholicism, as I believe will remain forever, so i simply consider this "tradition" being kept
usque ad finem, till the end of world we inhabit.
I think that for many people observing it, premarital virginity is not only a tradition, if we see tradition as a custom. It is rather consequence of their decision to follow the Law, which Law is delights of delights.
