Yes, Margrave Alexander's marriage to Pss Gisela of Bavaria did help very much his nomination as heir of the late Margrave...
but, although it would not encounter the standards of a 19th century monarch, it would nonetheless meet them regarding the next generations of the descendents of Margrave Friedrich Christian...the Afif being from and old family (and by European standards noble since the Afif descendended in male line from a sovereign and from the Sheikhs of Bkassin in Lebanon, who converted to Christianity) it would be much more easy to consider as an equal marriage than Prince Timo's (first) marriage to Margrit Lucas...I'd say the late Margrave of Meissen did obey better the tradition regarding marriages than many of his equal ones...
I don't know why this problem, I'd say 95% of House Heads have changed the rules regarding marriages, puting aside the strict equality of birth among the AdG (I & II Parts) included families: Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Hohenzollern, Baden, etc and etc, and these Houses are not expelled from those publications...
...to me sometimes it seems they only cling to Salic succession...
