Can you re-marry if your spouse is killed in battle? I tried wearing the Amulet of Mara again while around the house-carl Gregor from Dawnstar. So far it did not work. Any suggestions?


If you're playing on the PC, you should be able to remarry by using the console:

  • Make a backup save
  • Select your spouse (either by entering prid <spouse's refID> in the console or by clicking on your spouse's corpse with the console opened)
  • Enter the following console commands:
  • removefac 51596
  • player.removefac C6472
  • resetquest 74793
  • resetquest 21382
  • setstage 74793 10
  • Wait for 24 hours.
  • Proceed to marry as normal.

If the above fails, load the backup save and try other methods of remarrying.
