Lorca mentions typical ideals for women. The conflict in the plot and the characters' reaction to it point out the typical ideal of chastity that women were held to and the dominance of marriage in life. However, it seems that Lorca rejects it, characterizing the Bride and Leonardo as unfaithful in a way. This is the basis of most of the conflict. Through these characterizations, Lorca could be promoting promiscuity and criticizing the way that marriage is the dominant event in every person's life. This can also be criticism of the structure of family itself.
However, there's are points that also accept these ideals. The fact that the tragedy is a product of the unfaithfulness of the Bride and Leonardo could serve the purpose that following the ideals is a road to happiness.
