Hello Anonymous,
The medical term for painful intercourse is dyspareunia, which is defined as persistent or recurrent genital pain that occurs just before, during or after intercourse.
Causes vary from physical to psychological.
Involuntary spasms of the muscles of the vaginal wall can make attempts at penetration very painful.
A problem present at birth, such as the absence of a fully-formed vagina or development of a membrane that blocks the vaginal opening (imperforate hymen), could be the underlying cause of dyspareunia. This second cause is called imperforate hymen and may be your wife's issue since you mentioned that she did not have any bleeding after her first sexual intercourse.
Anonymous, I suggest your wife schedule an appointment with a gynecologist.
In the meantime, you may find some helpful information in this overview: Dyspareunia
