The Applicability of a Doubt About Niddah Blood Without Any Concern of Niddah
Question
Why is it that even when the bride is on birth-control pills and there is no concern about menstruation, she still becomes impure with the impurity of niddah because of first intercourse? After all, the entire rabbinic decree applies only when it could also be niddah blood, but here the law of niddah seemingly cannot apply, so at first glance the decree should not take effect in the first place.
Answer
I am not familiar with this issue.

*And that kind of blood
Any virginity blood is, in principle, not menstrual blood that comes from the womb, and nevertheless they decreed regarding it—either because they thought it was menstrual blood, or because they made it as a safeguard. And that kind of blood exists even when she is taking pills.
