Whether Mary was actually a prostitute is a hotly contested issue among historians. Many believe the writers of the bible used that angle because in the times the book was written, the idea of a woman being the head disciple of Christ would've been considered far too dangerous and controversial. While the Di Vinci Code itself is all a bunch of bunk, the general premise of Mary being married to Jesus has been around for a very long time among scholars.
