If one party was not a citizen but had ius conubii, how would this affect effect the legitimacy of their marriage and the rights of their children?
Their marriage would still be legitimate, and their children would still have the same rank as their father and still have "cives optimo iure" or citizens with the best rights
NOTE: Ius conubii means the right of marriage or they meet all the requirements of nuptiae iustae.
This means if a Patrician's wife died and he remarried a slave, as long as the requirements were met, they could get married and have legitimate children (iusti liberi)
