Hamhock: So you had an arranged marriage for a peace treaty, but the treaty didn't hold. Why not just get a divorce? Tyr: A divorce?? Never! Norse culture values the bond of marriage too much to dissolve it! Hamhock: But you don't value peace treaties enough not to dissolve them? Tyr: We really love fighting. Hamhock: Also explaining why you stay married.

The Norse did not believe in divorce? The heck they didn’t, divorce was quite common in Norse society. And what’s more, in other European cultures where the wife was the property of her husband and unable to seek divorce from him (while he could seek a divorce from her), Norse women were able to seek divorce from their husbands. Hamhock got the real reason they didn’t divorce.
