Citing an example with biblical David, Omokri wrote via twitter:

“Paying bride price for non virgins is like paying for what other men got free. Scripturally, bride price is only paid for virgins-Exodus 22:17. That is why David paid a bride price for Michal, but not for Abigail. Save your virginity until marriage”

Though it is appropriate for a woman/man to keep their virginity until marriage, but if we are to go by what Omokri stated here, then it automatically implies that majority of the people will remain unmarried.
