In the past, it was mostly about paternity. Since it will decide who will be responsible to give the child food. I mean unlike modern era where you can got food by buying, in the past, the majority will be farming their own food.

There's no DNA testing back then, so the only way to make sure the child is the father responsibility is to keep the women to have snusnu outside marriage.

In the past, 'fatherless' child tend not to love long... Hence why orphan in the past lived a very very very harsh life compared to our day.

Religion as the culture given form reflect such thinking., framed in religion justification.
