Aim and Background: Unconsummated marriage (UCM) is a problematic worldwide sexual disorder. It becomes complicated in the societies with conservative sexual norms. Yet there is clear consensus in scientific societies that UCM should be defined as a phenomenon beyond a specific individual, organic and psychological problem. Drawing upon Sexual scripts theory by Gagnon and Simon (1973) this review article aimed to answer a question: "Which socio-sexual scripts out of them the UCM in couples emerged and is maintained?' Methods and Materials: A review was conducted focusing on UCM and the social scripts about wedding night, marriage, intercourse and virginity. Findings: Most of the new published studies were conducted in conservative communities and reported varied etiological factors for UCM, based on the specialty of researchers and referred clinics. Conclusions: It seems that during UCM, mutual transaction between the individual and social norms  in her/his community about vaginal intercourse, is impaired and caused to guilt feeling so may lead to nondisclosure of the problem and make it prolonged. Sexual education for new couples by health care givers may decrease UCM prevalence and its challenges.
