Can't use favor to arrange matrilineal betrothal

[jruderman]

* Alias, grandson in my court
* Alda, granddaugther in Ysfael's court

If I try to arrange a matrilineal marrage using a favor on Ysfael, I see "[x] Either not a matrilineal union, or Alda is a woman". But Alda IS a woman. Well, a girl.

You might have missed this condition, mate.

Matrilinear marriages and betrothals cannot be forced by a favour, it's WAD.

That being said, this other boy you're trying to marry her to is of your dynasty, little use matrilinearly marrying them unless you want him to chill around your court.

You might have missed that it's part of an "either... or" phrase.

Btw, the changelog for 2.6 included this item:

• Favors can now be used to force matrilineal marriages if the other party is providing the woman

So I'm pretty sure it's not WAD.
