Never Masterbating (female)

In eastern cultures it's important for females to remain virgins until marriage. The first time the female has sex with her husband, they actually check for blood on the bedsheets from the ruptured hymen. So, I've never actually masterbated and I'm 23!  
I'm wondering if not putting anything in my vagina has any psychological or physiological effects.
For example, sometimes I just feel trapped in my own body or that I don't have full rights over myself. It's very frustrating.

Also, is there any way to tell if the hymen is ruptured? Because it can "just happen" and I'm scared that it may coincidentally be broken before my wedding night.

Clitoral stimulation is completely fine. This will not rupture the hymen inside the vagina. several things can rupture this....tampons, a finger, penis, vibrator....many things that can be put into the vagina can rupture it. There isn't a way to tell that it has been ruptured without a full pelvic exam...the kind a doctor does during a papsmear, etc.
I am not sure how your culture is, or what your beliefs are, but you should have rights over your own body. If you masterbate, not will be able to tell...but you. As long as you stay outside of the vagina.

You can masturbate with a vibrator on the outside of your vaginal mound (not penetrating the vagina) and press to find the clitoris.  It might make you feel like you have full rights to make yourself feel good.  It won't harm the hymen.
