It's less a freedom than different priorities, I think. Blood hierarchy is complex but so unlike what we know. It seems the parentage from the woman's line is more important and they can deny a father paternity. Very different from Westeros, anyway.
( Sansa carefully doesn't use the word bastard. She never wants to say it around Jon, ever, and regrets she ever did in her past. She'd been young then, though, and not so close to him. Even if he's forgiven her, she doesn't think she can forgive herself. )
Their way of living reminds me of the South, though. The South as it was before the War of Five Kings - very decadent.
