[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 695456, member: 1963"] It's a fundamental belief in the Abrahamic religions where currently or at one time, bride prices were/are paid for virgin brides. You see it in some of the offshoots of the Muslim faith, especially where they've gotten that faith mixed up with tribal customs (FGM is also part of this.) It wasn't that long ago that Jews gave it up. Some more extreme evangelical Christian sects are very patriarchal and while bride price is no longer charged (that I know of), the attitude of ownership of female members of the famiily by the family patriarch still remains. This last attitude exists in all 3 Abrahamic faiths. at least in the fundamentalist versiions of them. [/QUOTE]
