Frank,
	I would certainly not argue about the 5 virgins not being ready, that is clear.
What I was wondering about, was different people claiming that the 10 virgins are the bride.
In that case, 5 betrothed are "put away", i.e. divorced, before the wedding, for not being ready.
I can understand the arguments that many have made about some not being caught away because they are not ready.
I'm not addressing that, I talking about a bride being "put away" for not being ready for the wedding.
Are there scriptural grounds for putting away, or breaking a betrothal vow, for a bride not being ready?
Was there a Jewish custom, that when the bridegroom showed up, if the bride was not ready, she would be "put away"?
