Look harder.

The state of the hymen can, in some circumstances, be used to test to see if a woman might be a virgin - if it is there (untorn) she is, if it isn't there (or is torn) it is inconclusive.

Inconclusive to whom? In every culture that puts value on female virginity, the intactness of the hymen is the only "proof" accepted.

Many women, as mentioned by other posters, tear their hymens in totally non-sexual activities, such as horse-riding - do you really believe, for example, that a 12 year old girl who has torn her hymen through horse-riding is not a virgin? I certainly don't.

Yes, that is what I believe.

Rape is not a sexual experience - it is a violent crime.

Yes, Rape IS a violent crime. It is also sex. Non-consensual (and usually violent) sex is rape, that is its very definition.
