Thanks for the very careful analysis of Sansa III ASOS. The discussion of consent in marriage made me wonder- what can the Septon do? If Sansa wouldn’t say the marriage vows, would he call for a hymn and pretend she said them during it? Or if she asked the Faith for sanctuary- or even asked to become a Septa- would he be able to stop the ceremony without risking execution? On a more terrifying note, if Sansa did refuse Tyrion, Joffrey would threaten that a legitimised bastard will suffice.

I think he would have to choose between mortal sin and martyrdom, rather quickly.
