There is a reason why virtually every culture throughout history has had a strict ban on women not having premarital sex - at least, not with any man but her intended husband.
This article is a bit much - the DNA received through unprotected sex is thought to affect only the ovaries and is a factor with the first partner the woman has - but it sure does explain why high-ranking people through history demanded that a woman be a virgin at marriage. Even having been married before was a no-go, and this is why.
In the the thousands of years before blood tests and DNA tests became available, these people must have been observing something - observing that women who had had earlier partners sometimes had kids that somewhat resembled another man, either physically or mentally or both. This explains why.
It's mostly about men not wanting to end up unknowingly supporting children that are not theirs.
But it's also about the idea that a woman's later children can be affected by earlier male sex partners.
Ancient people have always been very concerned about this. If it was simply about making sure the prospective bride was not already pregnant, they could just isolate her for six months or so (and they did.)
But even when it was certain the woman was not already pregnant, she would often be rejected as a wife simply for being married before.
When virtually every culture around the world insists that there's something to this - maybe there is. A number of animal breeders tend to believe it as well.
Look up something called "telegony"

Eh. Not buying this lol.
"powerful people want virgins" is not some mystical dark art.

Oh yeah that's totally why, definitely no other reason
