I mean... yeah?
Otherwise who would they have expected the women to marry? Each other?
It's bc some people keep bringing up misogyny as an excuse as if only women got to marry so Ines got to choose someone just bc she's a woman but society also expects Carcel to marry when he didn't want to.
According to Inés, Cárcel was criticized for not being married in the CP TL. So BOTH noble men and women were expected to marry.
Novel excerpt:
Of course, if she thought about it a little more, she didn't even know that 'original' Cárcel Escalate very well. A playboy with many followers. A man who avoided duty and marriage.
Words that could've been used to devalue him were not as varied then and now. Everyone only sees the loudest aspect of others.
Not getting married was considered a major flaw, regardless of gender, and he, who was considered to be the most handsome man in the world beyond borders, was too conspicuous wherever he was.
When Cárcel did one thing, ten stories were created the next day.
