The Dragon King Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 He's plenty virile enough for Sansa to produce issue, people would have a lot more respect for his son then an Imp, seems like a missed opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fallen Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 ` Tywin had whores. He had no need for a young girl. Also, Sansa was the assumed heir to Winterfell. Tywin wasn't going up north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
complexphoenix Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Because whoever married Sansa would eventually have to go North with her son to take up regent-lordship in Winterfell and Tywin meant to stay in KL as Hand. Also, whichever Lannister married her, it would be rape. Tywin never does his evil acts with his own hands, he always has someone else do his dirty work.

Sansa_Stark Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Because in the end, Tywin was a coward. To have sex with Sansa, he must rape her(since Sansa would never consent). Tywin does not commit any of his crimes personally, and has to get someone else to do his dirty work. He's a gigantic chickenshit. That's why he still tries to act noble despite the fact that he is just a gigantic mass murderer. This is why he had Tyrion marry her. So now Tyrion would be the rapist and Tywin's "honor" is intact.

David Selig Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Martin wanted to stimulate the activity on the westeros.org message boards. Tyrion - Sansa offers much more in terms of discussion fodder. It worked like a charm. There's been countless thousands of posts on this topic.

RoamingRonin Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Why didn't he marry anyone ​for that matter? Because Tywin was a hypocrite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sansa_Stark Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Why didn't he marry anyone ​for that matter? Because Tywin was a hypocrite. Yo. Why did Tywin obsess over powerful marriage alliances for his children, when he married his first cousin a Lannister from Lannisport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black November Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Isn't it stated that he refused to remarry after Joanna? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modbelle Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Tywin has never married since Joanna died, and would probably never married even if he had lived. Tywin loved her and unlikely to remarry. Also, I think Tywin never gave up hope that some day Jaime would become his heir to Casterly Rock no matter how many times Jaime refused or shouldn't be allowed to since he was part of the Kingsguard, and any future children may have either helped Jaime feel more justified not taking the lordship or caused problems down the line especially since Jaime should not be able to inherit and would have to break his Kingsguard vows and leave in order to gain Casterly Rock.

Pod The Impaler Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Mayhaps the possibility of creating Warg-Imp hybrids as super-soldiers was too tempting to pass up? Heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Net-Viper X Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 As big of hypocrite as Tywin was, I bet the reason he didn't marry Sansa is because he already had plans to marry Shae. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

complexphoenix Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 It would have got in the way of his whoring. No it would not have. Tywin could see whores any time he liked without his wife knowing. He knew how to be discreet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Greg of House House Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 CRACKPOT ALERT (and not my idea btw): Tywin knows he's infertile. That's why he married another Lannister, so she could have sex with other people and still bear Lannisters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stark Raving Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Whatever one says about Tywin, he does seem to have an interest in setting up relatives with nice situtations. For example, his sister's husband, and in the long-term his nephew, at Riverrun; Lancel with the Darry feif. Setting up Tyrion with the North by placing a Stark back in Winterfell may have made political sense and actuallly set up a nice situation for Tyrion. Tywin already had a nice deal set up as Lord of Casterly Rock. So, he was kid of set. As a side note, it hadn't previously registered with me that Tywin has no expectation that Roose Bolton will be able to hold together the North. Otherwise, it wouldn't make as much sense for Tyrion to marry Sansa. I remember him at some point remarking that the people in the North will want the Starks once Winter comes, but this seems a bit more like pacing a bet on Bolton failure. I suppose he may have just wanted to ensure that the Tyrells didn't get there hands on Sansa and have claim to Winterfell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gneisenau Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Well Tywin wanted to reward Tyrion with Winterfell, and more importantly prevent the Tyrells from taking Winterfell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
