If a woman lost her virginity before becoming a baal teshuva and is now fully religious, doing teshuva and getting married, is there a difference in the wedding chupah ceremony since she is not a virgin anymore? I once heard a story of a woman who was a baal teshuva and at her wedding as she walked down the isle her veil that was over her face was fully covered material ( couldn’t see her face ) instead of a shear material as a symbol to everyone that she is not pure. Is this an average Judaism custom for women who are baal teshuva and lost their virginity before marriage?
