1.Definition of Marriage
Marriage in our Society is a socio-religious activity
It is a mutual agreement between 2 dis-similar parties i.e
male and female for a meaningful coexistence and to
participate in the natural process of procreation for the
continuance of human race.
The four pillers of Dharma as per our Hindu philosophy
are:
Purusharthas
Houses (Bhavas)
Dharma =
1,5,9
Artha =
2,6,10
Kama =
3,7,11
Moksha =
4,8,12

2. Historical Perspective
As per the ancient scriptures, our sages described
eight (8) kinds of marriages which are as follows:1. Brahma
2. Daiva
3. Arasa
4. Prajapatya
5. Asura
6. Gandharva (love)
7. Rakshasa
8. Paichasika
Note:- Paichasika kind of mariage is a worst kind of
marriage.

3. Astrological Parameters of
Marriage Matching

The following are the broad astrological considerations while

considering the match for marriage purpose:
The longevity of the partners (male & female)
The strength of seventh and eighth houses
Matching of kutas between the two partners

Besides the above, modern astrologers consider the following

factors also for matching purpose:
Mental and psychological health of both male and female
Factors showing malefic influence on marriage related houses in
the horiscope

carefully for this purpose: (1/2/4/5/7/8/12)

its members

outcome of marriage.

Venus is the karaka for marriage
Mars is the karaka for power (fire)
Both these planets have significant role in
marital life of an individual
A bad position/association of Mars in a
horoscope is known as Mangala Dosha
If Mars is in 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th and 12th from
Ascendant/Moon/Venus this Dosha is caused
(contd)

8. Concept of Mangala Dosha (Kuja Dosha)

First house signifies body; second family;
fourth happiness; seventh spouse; eighth
longevity and twelfth bed comforts.
Position of Mars in these places witll
cause problems on these areas of life.
However there are antidotes or
cancellation factors which has to be
considered before pronouncing the final
results.

hurdles misunderstandings, obstacles before the

mental and sexual incompatibility with financial
difficulties. It also causes mutual hardships in
the married life. There may be untimely death of
one partner or both.

10. Nullification of Cancellation Factors

of Mangala Dosha

horoscopes nullifies negetive results in their married life.

than Gemini and Virgo this dosha will be caused
otherwise, it is cancelled.
If the twelfth House with Mars and it is other than Taurus
and Libra this wil be caused.
If fourth House with Mars and it is other than Aries and
Scorpio then this will be caused.
(contd..)

11. Nullification of Cancellation Factors

this will occur.

Dhanush/Meena this will be caused.
In Kumbha, Simha and Cancer, Mars will not cause any
Dosha.
Association of Mars with benefics such as Jupiter, Moon will
reduce effect.
Combust/Weak Mars cannot produce the Mangala Dosha.
Note: The classical references states that kuja dosha cannot
be entirely cancelled, however the intensity will be nullified/
reduced in the above circumstances. This is a matter for
research.

reduced by observing the remedials as listed:
Fasting on (Mangalwar). In evening, Mars may
be worshipped.

eight days continuously the mantra of Mangala
chandrika.
