We have to be very careful about inferring too much from Ugaritic. It's a cognate, not a
precise parallel. Gordon, Dahood and a couple of others had a tendency to carry such
things a little too far, and their conclusions have not been generally accepted.
As for Joel 1:8, first, it's poetry, which takes a lot of liberties in any and every language where it exists. Second, the term rendered "husband" is BA(AL, which as the NIV notes, may also mean
"betrothed."
The Genesis passages actually undermine your case, because both passages
and terms clearly refer to a girl who is marriage material, clearly virginal.
The PARQENOS passages have been severally debated in the literature on ancient Greek, and the fact that you choose the one article that supports your idea proves only that you choose the one
article that supports your idea, nothing more.
Instead of taking someone else's word for it, have you read the Ugaritic for yourself?
