How could Mary have been a virgin?

Was Mary a perpetual virgin?
Most Christians believe that Mary was a virgin at the time of Jesus' birth because the Bible says so. But there is a dispute between the Catholics and Protestants about Mary being a perpetual virgin. They differ on whether Jesus had brothers and sisters.
Not just the Roman Catholics, but all the historic churches affirm the perpetual virginity of Mary.
That is true..However there are many members of those churches who do not believe it to be so.Just because a church has set article of belief does not mean every one believes them.The perpetual virginity is not mentioned in the 39 articles of faith in the Anglican Church.
