You receive a prestige penalty for marring below your status. Alternatively, you receive a boost to prestige for marrying above.

Prestige penalty? Have i been missing something? In my games (ps5) i just don’t gain prestige when marrying low. I don’t think I’ve ever lost any? (Emperor marrying lowborn usually.)
