Apologise, that value religions virginity dont think, that

Description:
In this case, more-mature women can be virgins (The Virgin Queen), men can be virgins, and potential initiates into many fields can be colloquially termed virgins; for example, a skydiving "virgin". In the latter usage, virgin means uninitiated.

Religion got in on this later and started codifying this tradition in religion. Virginity was seen as valuable and later sacred and good. It also makes men (who invented and ran most religions) feel more powerful when they have a "virgin" or a woman that no other man has claimed. Sort of like how collectors of memorabilia like to have it mint in box. Same concept.
