Short summary of your issue
Completely unrelated couples gaining the Incestuous trait when married.

Game Version
Azure 1.4.5 open beta branch

What OS are you playing on?
Windows

What platform are you using?
Steam

Do you have mods enabled?
No

Have you tried verifying your game files (Steam only)?
Yes

How much "pain" is this causing you?
4

Please explain the issue you experienced in the most condensed way possible
Noticed that recently married couples gain the incestuous despite not being related with characters getting it marrying lowborn or completely unrelated dynasties. Not all married couples gain the trait, only a few for some reason. Thought it could be mod errors, so I disabled and retried and it still happens event with multiple re-validation.

Please explain how to reproduce the issue
Found easily through an observation game. Not sure what causes it. I'm guessing maybe a scripting error in a marriage event or something.

Is there anything else you think could help us identify/replicate the issue?
Check if there are marriage scripts or the incestuous triggers I guess. The save file I provided was used in a fresh observation game with default rules and settings.

I found a married couple with the incestuous trait and set them as the playable character for the save. You can find a couple more using the character search by searching with the trait filter with incestuous.

I have attached a save game
Yes

There are a few ways for this to occur.
If a character has "Truth is Relative" perk they can fabricate a secret on one of them, and either blackmail for the hook and fail, or just plain exposed it. They could have also set the spymaster to find secrets in their court, spymaster fabricates the secret, and then same thing - exposure.

A court chaplain with a bad opinion of their liege can also present falsified evidence of an incestuous marriage to enforce a divorce.

Is there a chance to challenge the falsified evidence, or is the Incestuous Trait brute forced upon you?
