Mangal Dosha, also known as Kuja Dosha or Manglik Dosha, is a concept in Vedic astrology that is believed to have an adverse effect on a person’s marital life.

In Vedic astrology, Mars (also known as Mangal) is considered a planet of passion, aggression, and energy. If Mars is placed in certain houses in a person’s birth chart (specifically, the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th houses), it is believed to cause Mangal Dosha.

People with Mangal Dosha are believed to face difficulties in their married life, including delay in marriage, disharmony in the relationship, or even separation or divorce. It is believed that a person with Mangal Dosha should ideally marry another person with Mangal Dosha, or perform certain rituals and remedies to reduce the negative effects of this Dosha.

It is always advisable to consult with a qualified astrologer before making any important life decisions based on astrological beliefs.

How to check mangal dosha 

In Vedic astrology, matching the horoscopes of two individuals is an important step before they get married. When it comes to matching horoscopes for Mangal Dosha, there are a few prerequisites that are taken into consideration. Here are some of them:

The first step in matching horoscopes for Mangal Dosha is to check whether either of the individuals has Mangal Dosha in their birth chart. If one person has Mangal Dosha and the other does not, there may be some challenges in the marital relationship.

    Level of Mangal Dosha: The severity of Mangal Dosha is also taken into consideration when matching horoscopes. For instance, if Mars is positioned in the 1st house, the Dosha may be more severe than if it’s positioned in the 12th house.

    Age of the individuals: The age of the individuals getting married is also considered when matching horoscopes for Mangal Dosha. If one or both individuals have crossed the age of 28 years, the Dosha may have less of an impact.

    Other aspects of the horoscope: In addition to Mangal Dosha, other aspects of the horoscope are also considered, such as the position of other planets, the 7th house, and the 7th lord, as they can also affect the compatibility of the individuals.
