One line summary of your issue
Seduced concubines birth bastards

Game Version
3.2.1 [AZCE]

What expansions do you have installed?
All of the above

Do you have mods enabled?
No

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
Let's say you seduce someone else's concubine or else said concubine is already your lover. There is a chance that she gets pregnant.

Even if her consort (her man) never suspects anything and never finds out that he's been cuckolded, this all changes as soon as the baby is born.

Somehow the child is always born a bastard with an unknown father and you are forced to choose whether or not to legitimize, acknowledge, or denounce.

The child is also born with the mother's dynasty and inherits both parents' bloodline.

Steps to reproduce the issue.
You can use the "cuckoo" and "give_birth" console commands. If you want to do it without using cheats:

1. Play as a tribal or pagan ruler.
2. Choose the seduction focus.
3. Invite a male courtier (preferably trusting and with low intrigue)
4. Invite a female courtier (preferably lustful with high intrigue)
5. Give the female courtier to the male courtier as a concubine
6. Seduce the concubine until she gets pregnant
7. Wait for the birth

Proposed Solution:
Edit event 300 in birth_events.txt. Change
Code:
is_married = no
to
Code:
is_married = no
is_consort = no
If this doesn't fix it, then maybe the code (not the scripts) dealing with pregnancies has changed. I know for sure that it did not use to work like this. Seduced concubines and wives had the same behavior before.
