I think someone mentioned earlier in another thread that it was acceptable for men to marry a woman of lower caste but not for women to do so. If shantanu could marry a fisherman's daughter why couldn't Chedi king at least accept a daughter born to him and a fisherwoman 😕
Thanks Sabhayata...😊OMG...looking at the MB stories it seems the pioneering efforts for the trend of extra marital affairs were done in those days only...and that is the basic reason of all the later happenings...the more you try to go to the roots more is getting evident...

See king chedi had an affair with a fisherwomen and satyavati was born out of wedlock so it wanst a very hounourable thing for a king becuase not only did he have an extra martial affair but it was with a lower caste women.As far as i know the story he also had a son with this fisherwoman and he accpeetd the son but not the daughter stayavati well becuase she was a girl.In fact many scholars feel that the reason why stayavati was so ambitious was becuase of her own father who refused to accept her as a princess.Again proviong that there is a reason behind everything and satyavati was also ambitious becuase of a reason
