The paternalistic demand that girls be virgins is because that a man's greatest fear is to be compared poorly to another man.
Maybe it is because they did not want to potentially marry a woman who was already pregnant from another man.

Don't cheaters use that logic that it did not mean anything because there was no emotional connection?
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
