On the subject of the plot hole.
I will now put forward a hypothesis that somewhat legitimizes what is going on. To start with a bit of urban legend.
Parapsychologists (and not only) recognize the theory of telegony. This effect occurs when an embryo is passed on certain traits that in principle, genetically, should not be inherent to it. The most famous example is the resemblance of Mercedes' son to young Edmond Dantes in the novel "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexandre Dumas. And sometimes one often hears stories about a white girl married to a white man giving birth to a dark-skinned child a few years after her relationship with the dark-skinned guy who was her first. But there are also unexplained stories of a guy who served in the East and had an affair with a local girl, and a few years later, a Mongoloid child is born in marriage to a white woman, and in the area where they live, representatives of this race have not been seen in the foreseeable time.
So, what if Adeline was already pregnant when she married Mert. And he found out and that's why he hates her? And Linda's resemblance to Leila (Barbara) is just a case of telegony when a pregnant Adelina had contact with Mert? And his telegony (if you put it that way) was stronger than her genetics? Of course, this doesn't completely remove the incest issue, but we won't have to talk about imbreeding in this case. And it wouldn't be so unnatural.
And now to the question of Barbara. As beautiful, heartwarming and promising as my suggestion of a pregnant girl who ran away is, she probably only has a son about 18 years old who looks fantastically like Mert. Although a young daughter is still better. And in this case, the hero is Nina's young son, who will be close to Mert's merged family.
It's all just speculation. But we can afford to fantasize a little. And maybe the author will look here for inspiration, and that can only be to everyone's benefit.
