In comparison to contemporary times, the notion and sanctity of virginity as a moral value that was required of young girls especially at puberty towards adult life has lost its significance in many African societies. In the wake of globalization, family breakdown and social media among others, being a virgin in the African context is not markedly different from what pertain eslewhere in other parts of the world, especially the "west". In this light, I subject the issue of living as virgins to moral anthropology drawing from the theoretical standpoints of deontology and consequentialsim. Why in the midst of a growing non-virginized African world do we still have many virgins today? What motivations and reasons undergird female youth to lead chaste lives until marriages despite the odds? is the intersectionality of age, educational attainment andf religions apt for explaining this scenario? The study argues that young ladies's rationale to stick to being virgins till marriage is founded by both deontological and consequential explanations which should be seen as occuring together in most instances rather than being seen as isolated.
