That is one of the reason why I for one do not like the translation 巫女 as Maiden unless it used in the most strickest of sense "Maiden as offering to God" which is exactly what they are.

So in short, they are a god (ceremonial) brides, and entering priesthood resembles wedding with a god? In many religions marriage and priesthood are very simmilar. So "maidens" are maidens (virgins) 'cause there is no way for them, to consummate their marriage with god. And so, 'cause Nagi is a Dragon God, he is a legal (religious law, not human) husband of those 3 girls already. Am I right?
