Because she has yet had a husband, we cannot have sex.
you're right ! my mistake.. I was aiming for "because she already had a husband". SuStel:

I don't understand this. Because she has yet had a husband, we cannot have sex.
If you're trying to say because she still has a husband, don't make it perfective. wejHa' loDnal ghajmo' because she still has a husband. If you want to avoid the unattested word wejHa', you can say loDnal ghajtaHmo' because she continuously has a husband.
