the Lubavitcher Rebbe explains a rationale for this Torah Law.
Synopsis: "Torah establishes that a child’s People is traced through the mother – who carries and nourishes the growing baby [fetus], and who devotedly struggles through the pains of pregnancy, labor and childbirth. There are those who wish to steal the child from its mother, by 'voting' that a child can belong to the father’s People instead. All women [Jews and Gentiles] should object to such a possibility."
