For modern standards seems terrible and cruel attitude. But comparing with the equivalent era marriage was nothing but a contract. Two families came together to consolidate their power, by titles or money. Heirs must be provided as well.
That’s why the word “lovers” come from… Love was not include in a marriage, but found outside of it. It was too foolish to base a marriage in just a feeling. Complete instability.
Not sure in universe, but probably it would be just like in out past that women didn’t have the right to OWN anything, nor lands, nor titles. So widows and orphan daughters would have a terrible time without someone to provide for them. The stability of the whole family was pending on the reputation of each and every single one of their members. Dishonor would taint others and in the worst case scenario, ending like their mother, they could relay on each other if needed.
