Hello and welcome rto HCM. There is possibility that vjrginjty can be checked by seeing the hymen in vagina . insertion of finger or penis can cause rupture . but hymen rupture is not specific for intercourse as it can be broken by cycling ,horde riding etc. Regards Dr Manisha Jain.

Visual inspection

Detailed Answer:
Yes dear, you can have a look at the pictures on Internet and then see your partner and compare that though it will be very embarrassing for your partner.
In general it is very easy to differentiate between ruptured hymen and an intact one.
