Why did Portuguese law forbade Queen Maria I of Portugal from marrying a foreign prince?

Because women were regarded as 'the weaker vessel'in those days and a Queen would be a puppet to any foreigner with ambitions to direct Portuegese foreign policy etc. So instead, Maria kept it in the family and followed the totally disgusting Hapsburg custom of marrying close relatives, in her case her uncle, her father's younger brother. They were reasonably happily married though.

Glad that there are programs to reduce food waste and feed those who face food insecurity.
