Calipha can't marry matrilineally?

[Dracko81]

Yea I thought of that after I click post and tested...if you have children they are of your dynasty. Also if you are married in the RD you are married to a lowborn and your offspring will become lowborn.

So inheritance can be ensured from day 1. Assuming someone does not smother him.

The weird fact regarding this muslim mechanism is that there's actually a matrilinear muslim marriage in CKII, namely the marriage between Caliph Ali (First Caliph of Shia Caliphate) and Fatimah (Muhammad's daughter) whose children eventually becomes the Fatimids

What about marrying a lowborn? Or a bastard?

Muslims are locked into Agnatic succession, so the game wasn't really balanced for female rulers shoehorned onto Islamic thrones. You're going to have to play around with modding a little bit. Mod in a male member of your dynasty you can use to breed some sons so your game can continue. As others have said, Muslims are locked out of matrilinial marriage. This is for religious reasons. The Prophet Muhammed (peace and blessings be upon him, etc) said that children should be called by their father's name.

I'd say edit your husband (or sons) in the save file to be of your dynasty. Roleplay-wise it's not unprecedented; that's where the Fatimids' title came from (Fatima). What Jia Xu says above contradicts what I say here, and I should warn you I'm not an expert by any means, so take it with a pinch of salt.

Ruler designed characters do not have any family.

There was a superevent in cheats thread. Right there it had an option to spawn a random courtier of your bloodline. Could help.

I thought you could start the game with a son or daughter with the ruler designer?

Yeah, it takes quite a few points away though

On a laptop so cannot test but would using RD to be unmarried with a son and daughter, they should be of your dynasty

Yes if selected in the RD, I was talking about their offspring after game start.
