I'll take "This girl fucks" for 500, alex.
It's an example of a genre that was very popular in folklore, in the region, at the time. It's also a clever way of explaining (and minimizing) the phenomena of young girls getting knocked up - both as a cautionary tale and as a negotiation on their honor.

Getting knocked up by djinn is the ane equivalent of little red riding hood.
