What happens if someone marry the mother of my heir?

[Airaneon]

Ok so I'm new to the game, did the tutorial and such and my 1st character died at 40, left the throne to his son, but his mother (former queen) is now the regent. Now its popping up marriage proposals. If someone marries the former queen would they strip the rights of my current heir?

Short answer. NO.

Your queen is likely NOT OF YOUR DYNASTY so children to her will have no claim as the titles likely came from your father.

HOWEVER, because she is your regent, if she gets married normally she will LEAVE your court to goto her new husbands court and thus no longer be your regent, opening the floodgates to some ambitous council member to basically wreck your kingdom.

If you are able you should attempt to find a suitor for your mother and have them marry matrillineally so the guy comes to your court and your mum stays as regent and thus doesn't smother you in your sleep.

@Random Thanks mate, the suitor looked like a nice guy, So I thought that it would be nice to the mother queen. Sadly it was like u said, the next regent was some twisted fool trying to usurp the throne. Luckly I saved before making the decision, now I'll just try to marry the same guy matrillineally.

I noticed when playing a big ruler, that the AI would spam these requests to death when I was at war, with the thinking I imagine that I'm not gonna be paying close attention to who they're requesting to marry. It's quite clever, really. Something to watch out for!
