The termination of a marriage in Stardew Valley requires interaction with the Dark Shrine of Selfishness inside the Witch’s Hut. This process entails a payment of 50,000g. Completion of this action reverts the ex-spouse to a non-player character with whom all relationship progress is lost, and they will express negative sentiments toward the player.
This game mechanic offers players the opportunity to explore different romantic storylines within the game. It provides a way to rectify previous in-game decisions regarding spousal choice and experiment with alternative character pairings. The addition of this feature contributes to the depth and replayability of the game, allowing for flexibility in player choices and their consequences.
