Duke Leto Atreides did not marry Lady Jessica primarily because of the political implications of such a union. As a member of the Bene Gesserit sisterhood, Jessica was instructed to bear him a son as part of their breeding program, but Leto chose not to formalize their relationship through marriage to avoid entangling himself in the political machinations that might arise from a legitimate union. Additionally, he valued Jessica's autonomy and their bond, seeing marriage as potentially compromising their unique relationship.
