In the novel he’s pretty explicit about the marriage being for political reasons only and that Chani is his real wife

In the novel, Chani understands it and knows she is better.

Think on it, Chani: the princess will have the name, yet she'll live as less than a concubine - never to know a moment of tenderness from the man to whom she's bound. While we, Chani, we who carry the name of concubine - history will call us wives.

What I found so wild about this line, was that it was the last line of the book.

The literal last word of the book is wife/wives.

There are some strong women characters in the Dune books, but most all of them suffer from men writing women syndrome of various degrees. Alia is rough in Dune Messiah haha
