This bugged me too. So thanks to the people who answered. Thinking about, it makes to me as I realized that this sort of happens in real life too. Take Orthodox Judaism for example. It is matriarchal and patriarchal in who it considers people to be Jews and which Tribe they are from respectively. According to Orthodox Judaism, one is Jewish as long as the biological mother is/was Jewish before they, the child, are conceived, no matter the background of the biological father is/was, and no matter how many generations it has been, as long as they are daughters. For example, one can be Jewish even if their Jewish ancestor were a great-grandparent, as long as that great-parent was their biological ancestor and their mother's grandmother. With the Tribes, the same holds true, only with male ancestors instead of female ancestors.
