However, in older, more patriarchal times, the mother's citizenship contribution would have been automatically and legally the same as the father's due to/because of the legal partnership of marriage.
I'm not sure how that would have worked with "illegitimate" children back then, though.
There once was a lot of negative stigma attached to being a "bastard" child for a lot of reasons.
Regardless, the mother contributes one third of her child's citizenship inheritance at birth the same as the father does. Neither greater than nor superior to the other.
