Introduction:

In the realm of Vedic astrology, marriage is regarded as a sacred and significant commitment that binds individuals not only physically but also mentally and spiritually. It is a universally acknowledged institution governed by laws, customs, beliefs, and perspectives, which delineate the rights and duties of partners and legitimize their progeny. Marriage, akin to the sun, illuminates life, dividing it into two distinct phases: life before and after marriage. The importance of marriage is underscored by its eight classical types as described in ancient texts: Brahma, Daiva, Arsha, Prajapatya, Asura, Gandharva, Rakshasa, and Paisacha. Today, we delve into the astrological perspective of marriage with Dr. Nalin Jain, a faculty member at the Indian Institute of Astrology, known for his profound knowledge and experience.

Astrological Indicators of a Happy Marriage:

To analyze the potential for a happy marriage, one must scrutinize several key astrological factors in the birth chart:

Ascendant (Lagna) and its lord: Indicates physical and general well-being.

Moon (Chandra) and its lord: Represents mental peace and emotional stability.

Venus (Shukra) for males and Jupiter (Guru) for females: Governs marital happiness and partner’s qualities.

Seventh House (Saptam Bhava) and its lord: Directly related to marriage and partnerships.

Navamsha Chart (D-9): Provides deeper insights into the marital life and compatibility.

Planetary aspects on the Seventh House and its lord: Benefic aspects enhance marital happiness, while malefic aspects may cause troubles.

Position of Venus for males and Jupiter for females: Indicates the quality and satisfaction in marital life.

Early, Delayed, and Denied Marriage:

Astrologically, the timing of marriage can be influenced by certain planetary combinations:

Early Marriage: Favorable planetary positions and aspects in the relevant houses and planets.

Delayed Marriage: Influence of Saturn (Shani) or Mars (Mangal) on the Seventh House or its lord. Saturn's aspects or positions can cause delays, while Mars can create obstacles or break engagements.

Denied Marriage: Multiple malefic influences on the Seventh House, its lord, or significators like Venus and Jupiter can lead to denial of marriage. A comprehensive analysis of both the main and divisional charts is essential to determine this.

Love Marriage vs. Arranged Marriage:

In contemporary society, love marriages are increasingly common. Astrologically, the possibility of a love marriage can be indicated by:

Fifth House (Pancham Bhava) and its lord: Governs romance and love affairs.

Connection between the Fifth and Seventh Houses: A link between these houses suggests a transition from romance to marriage.

Dasha (planetary periods): The active dasha during the time of the relationship can influence its progression to marriage.

Potential for Separation or Divorce:

To assess the stability of a marriage and the potential for separation or divorce, the following should be examined:

Seventh House and its lord: Analyze for malefic influences or afflictions.

Navamsha Chart: Evaluate the condition of the Seventh House and its lord.

Dasha and transits: Periods ruled by malefic planets or adverse transits can indicate troubled times.

Manglik Dosha:

Manglik Dosha, caused by Mars being in specific houses, is a significant factor in marital discord. Its impact can range from minor disagreements to severe issues like health problems or even the death of a partner. The dosha’s intensity depends on Mars’ position and the afflicted house’s strength.
