God has designed the male and female bodies to join together as one flesh: therefore, sexual relations of husband and wife are not shameful but the fulfillment of a divine plan. However, such relations outside of marriage violate the divine plan, God prohibits adultery.
Marriage in the past involved two stages: the betrothal and the marriage ceremony. BETROTHAL appears to have been the entering into a marriage contract, usually with the young woman's father, but marriage was not completed until the marriage ceremony, which included a wedding feast and the bridal chamber.
It is possible that the friends of the bridechamber served as witnesses regarding the bride's "tokens of virginity".
Once the marriage was consummated in the bridal chamber, it was not to be dissolved. God's method of joining man and woman to be one flesh in marriage is through His design of their bodies for physical relationship; therefore, adultery is a serious transgression of God's work and will.
Have a happy marriage life...out there..
