As long as you are chaste, you are not obligated to inform your husband about the loss of virginity; as it can be lost due to causes other than indecency, such as a fall, insertion of a finger, severe menstruation, or prolonged spinsterhood. The husband must think well of his wife. If your husband asks you, tell him what removes doubt. The Permanent Committee has issued a fatwa that there is no شرعي (Islamic legal) impediment to concealment, and to inform the husband of the truth if he asks after consummation.
