The pagan traditions of marriage and inheritance were a major source of conflict between Matrak and Bahu. One side could not stand it, while the other side did nothing to stop it, but nurtured and grew it.
Matrak did not follow the laws of inheritance as written in their faith, but let the people divide their children and lands as they liked.
For example, right now, in those villages that followed the practise of their forefathers; instead of women belonging to a certain man, they belonged to all the men in the family, with the responsibility of taking care of them falling on every male.
This change was done to decrease the cost of childbearing for each individual man so that sudden pregnancies did not suddenly cripple one.
As for determining the matter of who was the father, well like before they were not that concerned.
