Can you marry a khajiit in Skyrim?

Answered by Antonio Sutton

In Skyrim, the ability to marry is a feature that allows players to form a bond with a non-playable character (NPC) and have a life partner within the game. However, when it comes to Khajiit characters, there are certain limitations in terms of their marriage options.

To answer your question directly, unfortunately, you cannot marry a Khajiit in Skyrim. This may come as a disappointment to players who had hoped to form a romantic relationship with a fellow Khajiit character. The game restricts Khajiit characters from marrying other Khajiit characters, limiting their marriage options to characters of other races.

Interestingly, the game does allow for interracial marriages involving Khajiit characters. For example, a male Khajiit can marry a female Dunmer (Dark Elf), and a male Dunmer can marry a female Argonian. These instances highlight the game’s openness to diverse relationships and the potential for love between different races in Skyrim.

However, it is worth noting that not all races have marriageable options available for them within their own race. This is also the case for the Bosmer (Wood Elf) race. Bosmer characters cannot marry other Bosmer characters, and similarly, they lack a marriageable option within their own race, regardless of gender.

The limitations on Khajiit and Bosmer marriages within their own races can be seen as a design choice by the game developers, possibly to add a sense of diversity and variety to the available marriage options. While it may be disappointing for players who specifically wanted to marry a character of the same race, it does provide opportunities for unique relationships and intercultural unions within the game.

While Skyrim allows for interracial marriages involving Khajiit characters, it does not allow for marriages between Khajiit characters themselves. Similarly, Bosmer characters cannot marry other Bosmer characters and lack a marriageable option within their own race. These limitations provide an opportunity for diverse relationships and intercultural unions within the game, adding to the overall richness and variety of Skyrim’s marriage system.
