Marriage is one of the most important milestones in life, but sometimes, due to planetary influences, marriage gets delayed causing stress and anxiety. In Vedic astrology, delays in marriage can often be understood and managed through the birth chart (kundali) and specific remedies.
Why Does Marriage Get Delayed According to Vedic Astrology?
In your kundali, certain houses and planets primarily influence marriage and relationships:
- 7th House (लग्न का सप्तम भाव): This house directly governs marriage, partnerships, and spouse.
- Venus (शुक्र ग्रह): Represents love, romance, and marriage for males.
- Jupiter (गुरु ग्रह): For females, Jupiter plays a significant role in marriage timing.
- Saturn (शनि ग्रह): Often causes delays and challenges but also teaches patience and endurance.
- Rahu and Ketu (राहु और केतु): These shadow planets can bring unexpected twists or delays.
When these houses or planets are weak, afflicted, or in challenging positions, marriage may get delayed.
Common Astrological Causes of Delayed Marriage
- Affliction to 7th house or its lord: Planets like Saturn or Rahu placed here can delay marriage.
- Weak Venus or Jupiter: This weakens love and marital prospects.
- Long Dasha (planetary period) of malefic planets affecting marital houses.
- Malefic transit on key houses delaying auspicious timing.
