Online, people make a big deal about past

But what I have seen in real life, is urban guys getting into relationships and marrying women who were in a live-in relationship, or women who had 2 -3 ex BFs known publicly.

And 2-3 exes is average number. Some guys have been serious about women who had more than that.

Usually guys and girls from rich backgrounds are more accepting of past, even casual ones. Guys from lower middle class are accepting of past but not casual .

If the girl is gorgeous , most guys are ready to accept her reasonings.

Some of my friends were virgins while some of my attractive friends and classmates had some relationships (emotionally involved but not committed for marriage due to caste difference)

In all this, I am not talking about hookup culture but about relationship without intent for marriag. I don't know about that. Tinder is normalising that though.
