The concept of Women's honour and loss of it

I often think that many of the excesses that are committed against women(molestation in war or in some kind of retaliation, honour killings) have their roots in the belief that forced penetration, or penetration without consent of a woman's guardians (whose honour she is supposed to carry) results in the loss of honour. What are the biological causes for this age-old belief? How can we help change the thinking?

In case a wife do harm with her husband the woman destroy the entire family... The only honor of a woman, is that there virginity and once they lost it. That honor will forever be destroy and only left was the dignity
