the only way to a truly fair society is babies are randomly reassigned immediately after birth. if you have a baby you will get a baby within a week of giving birth. if you're lucky it might be the one with your genetics!

then again, medieval lords often really valued chastity in pretty good faith, sorta dissipating in the early modern era. you can't assume a modern american elite person believes in their own putative religion in good faith tho
