Primitive marriage was an investment, an economic speculation; it was more a matter of business than an affair of flirtation.  Woman started out as the property of her father, who transferred his title to her husband.  The chastity taboo had its origin as a phase of the property mores, and virgins later became valuable commercial assets to their fathers.
