Manglik Dosha in Kundali: Impact on marriage, Types & Remedies

In India, about 80% of the Indian Population believes in astrology. Over 70% People match kundlis before fixing a marriage, whether it love marriage or an arranged marriage. Over 60% of marriages are arranged with the help of birth chart matching. More than 35% of them have Manglik Dosha in Kundali in some form. Families consider this situation to be one of the important factors before deciding on marriage.

What is Manglik Dosha?

Manglik Dosha, also known as Kuja Dosha, Manglik Dosha is an astrological condition in Vedic astrology. It is linked with the position of planet Mars in a person's birth chart. Mars symbolizes energy, passion, and aggression. A person suffers from this dosha if Mars is placed in a particular house. These houses are the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th. This placement of houses is believed to affect marriage and relationships.

Manglik Dosha in kundali is considered a serious concern in Hindu marriages. It brings delay, conflict, or misunderstandings in married life. Manglik doshas' impact depends on the full birth chart, not just only Mars. In many cases, Dosha gets cancelled or reduced by the movements of other planetary positions.

Influence of Manglik Dosha on Marriage

Manglik Dosha influences marriage in many ways; it may cause a delay in marriage. As a Manglik person, have a fiery energy of Mars or a fiery temperament, which can cause disagreements, tension, conflicts, and stress. Astrologers believe Manglik dosh in kundali causes financial instability. This causes stress in the couple’s life. Financial difficulties are a major cause of marital discord. The Manglik person may also face setbacks in their career.

It is also believed that if a Manglik marries a non-Manglik may cause severe outcomes. One partner may die or suffer serious health issues. Astrologers advise that for this Manglik-Manglik marriage to nullify the Manglik dosh effects.
