You know what was super common back in the day? Girls wandering off alone at night and returning pregnant. You know, mysteriously. Spirits or djinn or whatever coming upon them in the night. IIRC, there is no culture on earth without exactly this sort of story.
Virgin birth and besetment stories are kindof a pressure valve in that regard. A way to allow a loved daughter to break a taboo and not pay the full price, but also as a cautionary tale to the same.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
