Mary was a virgin as prophesied when she conceived.
But it seems your concern was how did that play a role in the line of David right?
Mary was of the line of David also.
The Bible provides us with two lengthy genealogies of Christ. Matthew, as a Levite, focuses on the Messiahship of Jesus in that he traces the legal line from Abraham (thought to be the first Jew) through David, then Solomon and the royal line, to Joseph, the legal father of Jesus ( Matthew 1:1-17) and the husband of Mary. Luke, as a physician, focuses on the humanity of Jesus. He traces the blood line from Adam (the Son of God versus us, the sons of Adam) and once Luke gets to Abraham, the genealogy is identical to Matthew's up to the House of David. Then Luke goes from David, through Nathan (a different son of David) to Mary, the mother of Jesus ( Luke 3:23-38).
By this Jesus has the legal line as well the blood line and divinely avoid the curse pronounced on king Jeconiah in
After the birth of Jesus, Joseph and Mary had normal physical relations as a husband and wife would, but not before. Mary was a virgin when she gave birth to Jesus.
"But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain."
King James Version (KJV)
