Game Of Thrones: 10 Outrageous Book Moments That Won't Be Used

3. Ramsay's Wedding Night

Things don't tend to go well for Sansa Stark, who's unlucky even by the standards her family have set. This reached it's lowest point halfway through season 5, when she had to marry Ramsay Bolton, and was then raped by her husband on the wedding night. It was a shocking, painful moment, one that drew a lot of criticism, and yet not actually as bad as what happens in the books. While getting raped is a horrific enough event, George R.R. Martin takes things to the extreme and then some. In the books it isn't Sansa who's married to Ramsay but her old friend Jeyne Pool, who is being passed off as Arya Stark to secure the North for the Boltons. On the wedding night Ramsay actually forces Theon/Reek to perform sexual acts on Jeyne first, before he then rapes her himself, while it is also heavily implied that she was sexually assaulted by his hounds as well. The scene on the show was bad enough, but we can be thankful for the change from the books on this occasion.
