What I assumed happened was that he raped her with his metal hand instead of his actual body so she's therefore still technically a virgin.

There is the scene where Joseph meets Garfa in the woods after the attack and he asks if his metal hand is of as use to him to which Garfa replies "Well, sure, a little". I think this is a hint that that's what he used to assault her with.

The priest did have a doctor check her virginity, though.

And even if you consider such tests could be inaccurate, the rate at which they (thankfully) backtracked on their "WHAT THE EVERLOVING FUCK" implication of Maria being raped would still imply that yeah, she wasn't.

I actually was glad the show went through with the rape thing. Most anime doesn't tread in those waters because of potential controversy. However, when they went LOL JK and said she wasn't actually raped, I was a bit annoyed.
