Playful Answers For People Who Think Sansa Has to Stay Married
Playful, polite answers you can use for people who think Sansa has to stay married to Tyrion:
“She said the vows. They’re legally binding and the northmen won’t just ignore the law.”
Playful Answer: “Yeah, laws do matter. Like the ones against treason, and rebellion.”
“Only the High Septon can give her an annulment, if she has her maidenhead.”
Playful Answer: “Yeah, I suppose she could just wait for the north lords or the Royces to make the trip down to Kings Landing and meet with the guy who thinks they’re demon worshippers and hates them.”
Playful answer 2: “Too bad royal decrees can’t overturn vows, or else Robb could have just picked Jon to—”
“But Robb picked Jon over Sansa.”
Playful Answer: “Yes, I suppose Sansa being a far-away hostage probably wasn’t the problem for a man who needed an heir.”
“Littlefinger said Sansa had to be ‘safely widowed.’”
Playful Answer: “Yeah, even if he wanted to get an annulment from either the Lords Declarant or the High Septon he might have to lie or bribe someone or something underhanded like that. That’s not Littlefinger’s style.”
BTW, I’m a believer that Bran is coming back at the very end of the story to be the next Bran the Builder, but the idea that Sansa has no way out of her marriage is absolutely bizarre. King Bran would have every reason to overturn it by royal decree in any case, and let his sister live in peace, or let her choose a groom from an allied House, like the Royces, Glovers, Umbers etc… if she isn’t widowed which she probably will be. Why force her to stay married and make children for a cursed, nearly extinct House Lannister?
TL;DR The Starks are comin’ out on top, and Sansa won’t have to be married to anyone she doesn’t want to.
