Let me offer a different perspective, if we go back in time DNA test were not a thing or even in anyone's wildest dream. Your tribe gets over run and the women raped, unless it is a radically physically different tribe one may never know who the real father of that child was, the husband that was KIA or the other side that raped the women.

Child born is Jewish simple answer to a problem from long ago.
