Re: Virginity?
Religion is the most likely source of the concept of virginity.
I spoke for a couple hours today with an Iranian woman. Besides getting her opinions on the current conflict, she spoke a lot about her life in pre-revolution Iran. One of the things she talked about was how men will generally not marry a woman unless she is a virgin. The man will have her examined by a gynecologist to ensure that she was still "pure." If the bride-to-be's family was fairly well-off/influential, they could choose a gynecologist themselves, and often they would pay the gynecologist thousands of dollars to say that she was still a virgin. All of this just because it allows the man to express his "dominance."
