If a man is looking to add a first wife - or additional wives - they should be virgins. Of course - there are exceptions - for example, if her husband has past away and she's a widow.
Another exception is if she was fooling around with men; but then found Lord Jesus and repented + believed. Therefore, her sins have been washed clean by his precious blood, and she should have a new heart (Titus 3:5 and Psalm 51:10). Of course - this faith means she has 100% stopped fornicating since becoming a follower of Christ.
Another exception if her husband gave her a certificate of divorce. She should be free to re-marry, and have a protective covering.
But if she claims to be a Christian, but during her life as a Christian she accumulated a body count - then that's a major red flag. You should flee. There's a strong chance she has not been re-born, therefore, she is still in the world. A person that's worldly is still in the flesh:
Romans 8:7
The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so.
Some scripture regarding virgins:
Leviticus 19:29
Do not allow your daughter to commit whoredom lest the land commit whoredom and the land be filled with sin.
The western world thrives on the hook-up culture. It's the fruit of monogamy only. It's the fruit of false teachings that come from demonic spirts (1 Timothy 4:1-3). It's the fruit of teaching commandments of men as the word of the Most High. So it's no surprise things are beginning to burst at the seams in the Western Christian world. The CREATOR knows what's good. What's bad. What was good yesterday. Is good today. What was bad yesterday. Is bad today.
Deuteronomy 22-20-21
If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the young woman’s virginity can be found, 21 she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. She has done an outrageous thing in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her father’s house. You must purge the evil from among you.
So it's considered evil to be promiscuous while she is living in her father's house. I think in our lawless society today - if a Christian father had to choose between his daughter hooking up with multiple men - or marrying into a very stable/strong, but a polygamous household (the man already has one wife) - some would actually choose her daughter fornicating with multiple men - versus being in a marriage structure that Moses, Abraham, Jacob, Gideon, and David used.
Matthew 25:1
At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.
Leviticus 21:13
The woman he (priest) marries must be a virgin.
1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
