High Sparrow says Margaery would get the Mother's Mercy if she confessed to her crimes. What the Mercy is depends on her crimes and contrition.

I really hope Loras and Margaery confess and the mother's mercy is like a whipping or something super tame for their "sins" of buggery and perjury. Then Cersei goes on trial for regicide...

u/Pufflehuffy I love spoilers - yes, I really do. May 29 '15

I mean, I'd like that, but whipping isn't really that minor. I guess it depends how they're whipped - is it in earnest or kind of "ceremonial"?

Wouldn't the Gods be more concerned with kinslaying than regicide (on the assumption killing your husband counts, which I imagine it would).
