The Waiting Period of a Virgin

Question
Does a woman who is still a virgin have a waiting period upon the death of her husband?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The waiting period for death is obligatory for every woman who is contracted to a husband, whether the husband has consummated the marriage or not, and whether she is a virgin or a widow. And God knows best.
