Please explain the issue you experienced in the most condensed way possible
If you try to recruit a child who doesn't have a liege (for instance, you imprisoned them but then successfully took their liege's titles in a war) you are unable to. This is due to this chunk of code:

scope:recipient = {           
    is_ruler = no
    NOT = { is_courtier_of = scope:actor }
    OR = {
        is_adult = yes
        AND = {
            exists = liege
            NOT = { is_heir_of = liege }
        }
    }
}

The AND means a child MUST have a liege if you want to recruit them to court.

Please explain how to reproduce the issue
Imprison a child without a liege. I have also attached a save file where I have done this.

Is there anything else you think could help us identify/replicate the issue?
Not really, it's pretty simple.

I have attached a save game
