I was sexually abused: Can I marry?

(Location Undisclosed)

Hello Darlene. I want to ask a very valid question. I have been affected by this thing from 6 years to 12 years of my age massively. Now I am 22 and my parents want me to marry and get settled. I can't tell this to anyone. I am completely confused because I can't even tell it to the person I would marry, and since I lack knowledge on issues, I am confused if the physical signs in the body can let him know that I'm not a virgin or they won't...I need your help. Please do respond.
