Character Screener - Arrange Marriage Question (Bug?)

[unmerged(458987)]

There is something odd that has consistently been happening to me since the game was released (as far as I can remember). Sometimes I like to start as a duke or count who is surrounded by idiots, and then try to work my way up. I usually quickly try to marry a handful of courtiers into my realm to serve as breeders and tutors.

I use the character screener tool to search for available courtiers and sort by stats, then I right click on the portraits to enter diplomacy, then click the arrange marraige button, then click the empty circle to pop up my own list of available people to marry. Everything works well the first couple marriages I arrange.

The problem is, after I arrange a couple marriages, it doesn't let me arrange any more until I restart the game. After selecting the person that I want to marry, I bring up the diplomacy, and arrange marriage menus again, then when I try to click the empty circle to pop up my own list of available people to marry, it doesn't show anybody even though I have several people who are able to marry them. Restarting the game fixes this.

Does anybody else ever have this issue? Am I doing something wrong or could this be a bug?

try to check if yours are at eligible age to marry, if yours under 16 try to bethoral them instead. if this is not the case, i cant think anything else, except bug

I think I found the issue. It seems that when I use the filter that only shows unmarried women, it creates a list of unmarried women and this list doesn't get refreshed until I toggle the filter again. I think the reason why no males were showing up in my court was because the woman I selected was married, even though she was still showing up in the unmarried list. Over time, I think I reached a point where most of the top women on the list were actually married because I never re-filtered to refresh the list.

there is cases when you can not marry lowborn males to noble woman normally. You have to marry them matrilinear. So, if you did not check matrilinear in filer, choice could pop up empty.

All you need to do is click the filter on the left once more. "All", "Realm only" or "Vassals only". Can't remember what these are called, actually.
