Virginal blood was considered immensely magical and powerful....the
bloody sheet or handkerchief was kept as a talisman, or sort of a
household icon of the wife's purity and honor.... oaths were sworn
upon the stain as we might swear on the bible. Sounds like something
djinn would be very envious of.....

Very, very pre-Islamic. (of course, all this henna stuff does
predate Islam by 3000 years or so....)
