The Torah does in fact forbid a woman to have pre-marital sex.
Deu 22:20-21 "But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be
not found for the damsel:
Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house,
and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die:
because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her
father's house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you."
Not only the wives and concubines lived in the harem, but the other
women of the household as well. So his daughters would be part of the
harem. The common western vision of a harem being a sex-room filled with
scantily clad/naked women is very incorrect.
