Hm, I see that most of the answers - if not all - are stuck in the past. But what about new times? Like in this documentary at 3m 15s you see a group of young Muslims talking about virginity and boys say that they would find it disgusting to marry a woman that is not a virgin, but the girls are more sober. They say that it should not matter, but that love is more important and if women are punished for it so should guys be
But of course the boys are too young to be saying their own opinion, rather they just parrot what their surroundings "taught" them. I mean they don't mention woman already having kids, but just that she had some sexual experience before them.
As well as stuff like this

So you see there is a whole pseudoscience built around this notion of women "losing" that something as well as their innocence. But of course it is all about guys that are losers so in order to feel important they go around telling women how to behave.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
