| May 20, 2016 at 14:05 | comment | added | Skooba - Stands Against AI | @BCdotWEB Yes, that is a techincality in the question... The non-loop question may be, "Known member of the Nights Watch who had a wife before joining and that said previous wife was alive at the time the man joined" | |
| May 20, 2016 at 14:03 | comment | added | Skooba - Stands Against AI | related, even though there is no answer... scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/128591/… | |
| May 20, 2016 at 14:02 | comment | added | BCdotWEB | I'd assume that joining the Watch would involve the marriage being nullified in some way, almost as if the man had died. The pledge says "I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come." i.e. they'll ignore the past. If you lose your lands and your title, seems logical you'll also lose your family. | |
| May 20, 2016 at 13:53 | comment | added | Schullz | @NSNoob I thought about Jeor, but I found nothing about his wife - was she alive or not. So, Jeor isn't an answer | |
| May 20, 2016 at 13:45 | comment | added | Aegon | @Schullz There is always Jeor Mormont. We however do not know about his wife, mother of Jorah Mormont. We do not know if she was alive when Jeor went to join the NW | |
| May 20, 2016 at 13:43 | comment | added | Schullz | @Skooba I've added phrase "about whom we know" | |

| May 20, 2016 at 13:41 | comment | added | Schullz | @NSNoob I would like to know examples from both books and series. | |
| May 20, 2016 at 13:38 | comment | added | Skooba - Stands Against AI | Good question, but seeing as the NW is 8,000 years old founded during the Age of Heroes and not much was written back then. | |
| May 20, 2016 at 13:37 | comment | added | Aegon | It would be appropriate to correct the tag. Are you asking the answer for show or the books? | |
