This article joins a vibrant conversation about the concept of virginity and its relevance in the process of women’s self-liberation during medieval times. The aim of this project is to shed some light on the concept of virginity and to analyse its interpretation in a time in which it was almost compulsory to follow society’s patriarchal pattern. The study begins with a historical framework of this idea of corporeal sacredness followed by a new approach in which the contemporary perception is shattered. This article analyses the sociological and religious relevance of an idea conceived as the paramounts of holiness – thus proposing an alternative approach in which it is a defense weapon and not as a way of oppressing the female sex. Resumen Esta disertacion se une a un apasionante dialogo sobre la virginidad y su relevancia para la liberacion de la mujer en la epoca medieval. El objetivo es estudiar el concepto de virginidad y analizar su concepcion en una epoca en la que adaptarse a las normas patriarcales de la sociedad era practicamente obligatorio. El estudio comienza con una contextualizacion historica de esta sacralidad seguida por un acercamiento al concepto en el que la percepcion contemporanea de esta idea es fragmentada en cuanto a su significado. Este articulo analiza la relevancia sociologica y religiosa de este estado de pureza proponiendo un acercamiento en el que la virginidad funciona como un arma de defesa para la mujer, no como metodo de opresion.
