im 90% sure she had her chastity ,she explains their first encounter during a scene in the garden pools1 - Was Karla a virgin when the MC took her in the tower? That is never clarified. MC states she was his first but the reverse is never stated. That on top of her being a mage (and thus being far more independent than most women and having the societal rules apply differently to her). She does mention "having one last adventure" before acquiescing to her jerk father's (and Eloise's) demands, but the MC put a stop to that when he claimed her;
staying a virgin until marriage seems to be the general custom but naturally some people disregard these,being part off the clergy that hold the customs in high regard i doubt any would brake them2 - Priestesses of Ishtar: It is generally frowned upon to make a move on them, and it's expected of them to make the move if and when they are interested in someone, not the reverse. It is never said anywhere that they are forbidden from having partners before their belly ward expires though. At the same time, during the Ishtar ritual of marriage, the priestess always make it a point to indicate to the husband-to-be if the lady he is about to marry is a virgin or not. So with that preamble out of the way, are the priestesses supposed to be and stay virgins until they choose/marry a partner? Are they "free" to engage with others due to their position? Or does it vary depending on the individual priestess?
as for why its frowned up to court them is due the their Ward protecting their womb from the global curse (which is still kind off a mystery to me on how it works but it basicly inhibits pregnancy especially if its a male offspring)
