Agree, with you, How, child or heir, is important, for that days, because, if A heir is, born, Kingdom feels secure.
if we recall, Jhansi Kee rani, how heir was important, she adoppted a child, after death of her Own son, How many planings, happened to Kill DAMODER RAV 1.
If we checked, Mahabharta, After death of, Vichaterveeray, Vayas, was needed, to produce, Heir;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; so Heir was very important, that time. Kunti son, (Pandavs, ) Gandhari,son;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;all shows imp of Heir.
True Ayushi Jalal himself said the other day if he loses kingdom he can win over after battles but he wants a son a child
even in Mahabharata Kunti was given special powers to produce heirs which she also shared with Pandu's other wife when he was cursed that he will die if he has a relationship with his wife Gandhari who did not beget children had with the blessings of Rishi Vyasya
Kunti's marital life was also unusual. Having chosen Pandu as her husband in a svayamvara ceremony, she never had a child by Pandu. Her husband had received a curse from the sage Kimdama that he would die on having intercourse with his wife because he had shot the sage with an arrow when he was united with his wife in the guise of a deer. Deeply hurt by the turn of events, Pandu decided to retire into the forest and live the life of renunciation. Kunti accompanied him and lived like an austere celibate for several years. Later, Pandu was worried about the continuance of his lineage and wanted Kunti to have children through the process of niyoga"by getting someone suitable to help her bear a child. Kunti was averse to this idea, but when Pandu was insistent she used the mantra obtained from Durvasa to have three children"Yudhishthira from Dharma, Bhima from Vayu, and Arjuna from Indra. She also helped her co-wife Madri to have a pair of twins through the Ashwini-kumaras. Pandu wanted her to have more children, but Kunti would not consent, considering this dishonorable.
Not long after this, Pandu failed to restrain himself in the presence of Madri and died from Kimdama's curse. Following the practice of the day, Madri gave up her life on her husband's funeral pyre. Kunti too wanted to follow the same course, but had to abstain from doing so on the advice of some rishis, as she was needed to mother the five young Pandava princes. This duty she carried out right up to her ripe old age.
Kunti returned to Hastinapura with her five children to live under the care of Bhishma and Dhritarashtra. The following years were marked with a mixture of joys and sorrows for Kunti and the Pandavas. The joys of the palace that the Pandava children enjoyed while growing up under the watchful eyes of Bhishma were soon marred by the jealousy of the Kauravas. If they narrowly escaped a plot to have them burnt alive in a house of lac and managed to enjoy the glories of the newly founded city of Indraprastha, with its magical court created by Maya, Yudhishthira was soon lured into a game of dice with Duryodhana and Shakuni who conspired to defeat him with cunning and deceit. The brothers were forced to retire into the forest for twelve years and then live another year incognito. But the most tragic of all events, which eventually proved to be of crucial importance in sealing the fate of the Kauravas, was Duhshasana's dragging the proud Draupadi"whom Yudhishthira had pawned in the game of dice and lost"into the Kaurava court and attempting to disrobe her. Only the divine intervention of Krishna"who ensured that Draupadi's cloth did not run out even as Duhshasana kept pulling at it"saved Draupadi from total humiliation as, barring Vidura, virtually every member of the Kaurava court, including Bhishma, remained a silent witness to the tragedy.
In those days a heir was most important to run the kingdom
