Just as sexist as a few other conditions surrounding marriages.

As 'equal' as the game is, contracted marriages are the area where things change a bit by necessity.  A child to a merchant House mom can be assured of having that House's blood from at least one parent, but the child of a woman a merchant House dad knocks up could very well be the spawn of that 'rinthi she was secretly sexing up on the side.

There are societies in the real world that were matriarchal because of the fact that you could not guarantee who the father was...but you could guarantee who the mother was.  Everything was inherited from mothers...position, name, stuff.  It's not sexist, but realist.

Not strictly true. These type of things can work on a case by case basis.
