While you can certainly use statements like that to adjust your priors, be careful not to make absolute assumptions - in the US approximately 1% of people who have a wife are women.

If your machine learning model had a indicator that could point to something with 99 percent accuracy, you would tell it to ignore that?

Well, no. And that isn’t what I said, is it?

I would say that an assumption with 99% accuracy is a pretty good one.

Just to clarify to help avoid some awkward moments...

In the U.S., the normalization of gay marriage has involved a lot of cultural strife over the past few decades.

One may still encounter cliques in the U.S. that refuse to accept grammatical constructs such as "her wife" for various reasons.
