If by "human nature" you mean societal norms, then I'd generally agree.
No, by "human nature" I was referring to the piece that isn't cultural. In particular, without external pressure, just about any culture will value most women's chastity. (Not that this is a good thing.) There is, of course, a lot of difference between killing the women who aren't virgins on their wedding night and a culture where the word "slut" has negative connotations.
