Value on Virginity
  • Property
  • Schlegel

Schlegel uses HRAF
  • Cross-cultural comparison
  • Standard ethnographic sample
  • Statistical correlation of cultural features
  • This study seeks correlation of virginity value
    and marriage property exchange type

Schlegel seeks to compare control of women
  • Control of sex is most significant indicator.
  • But value on premarital virginity has problems as
    a measure of control
  • Premarital virginity may be followed by marital
    promiscuity.
  • Premarital virginity may be about control of
    young rather than control of females.
