      Ironically, there’s nothing in the Bible that explicitly calls out premarital sex as forbidden for Christians. It mentions “sexual immorality” and adultery, but doesn’t specify what it considers “immoral”. Even in the OT, if a man seduced an unmarried woman he either had to marry her or pay her bride-price. Also, Mary was engaged to someone else when God knocked her up.
