Delays in marriage can be due to various reasons. Astrology suggests it is due to the affliction of planets such as Shani, Guru, Venus, and Mars. The afflicted planets in your birth chart are the reason for delays, conflicts, and other challenges in a marriage.
Gemstones are a powerful remedy for everything in astrology, and so is the case with delaying marriage in a horoscope. There is a gemstone for every planet. For instance, in late marriage astrology, the Guru planet is involved; a yellow sapphire stone is recommended.
Are you worried why, even after everything seems fine, marriage proposals come and go without any result? Then the reason may be astrologically related. Let's explore more about this:
Astrologically, the reasons are as follows:
Let's take these one by one
The seventh house in the horoscope represents marriage and a life partner. One of the most profound reasons for a delay in marriage is the afflicted seventh house. The affliction can be due to the placement of planets such as Shani, Mangal, Rahu, Ketu, and Surya.
Remedy: Wear the gemstone for the planet that is afflicted. For instance, Shani is the main planet that delays marriage. If it is weak and situated in the seventh house, then one should wear the Neelam stone for Shani.
Not only the seventh house, but its lord also plays a vital role. If the seventh lord is placed in the sixth, eighth, or twelfth house, delay is common. Such placements create confusion in selecting a spouse or lead to arguments after marriage.
If you are a woman and Guru is the lord of the 7th house but is afflicted, there is a strong chance of a marriage delay.

Remedy: A powerful solution for delayed marriage for girls is the Pukhraj stone ring. Wearing this Guru ratna ring on the index finger also removes marriage conflicts.
The planet Venus is responsible for delays in men's marriages. If the planet is weak or in the 6th, 8th, and 12th houses, or is in combination with the kurup graha, then it causes late marriage.
Remedy: Strengthening Venus is one of the common remedies for delay in marriage suggested by astrologers. Wearing an opal gemstone is the best remedy for weak Shukra.

Saturn (Shani) plays a significant role in delaying marriage. In astrology, it's not Shani, it's the Shani Drishti that brings conflicts in marriage. Amongst all 3rd, 7th, and 10th Saturn aspects, the 3rd aspect is considered bad. When Saturn 3rd aspect falls on the seventh house, marriage happens late. Saturn teaches patience and responsibility.
People under the weak 7th house, because of Shani's influence, usually have marriage after 35 in astrology.
Remedy: A Shani with Mangal and Surya combination is also a reason for late marriage in astrology. One can wear a gemstone for a weak planet.
Manglik dosha is one of the most well-known reasons for marriage delay. When Mars is placed in the first, fourth, seventh, eighth, or twelfth house, marriage gets delayed, or proposals get rejected. Fear of Manglik dosha creates stress in matchmaking. But proper matching and remedies can reduce its effect.
Remedy: Red coral stone is a powerful remedy for late marriage in astrology due to Mangal.

Afflicted Rahu and Ketu create Kal Sarp Dosh, which is responsible for marriage delays and obstacles in life. If Rahu is in the 7th house or is in combination with the lord of the 7th house, then it causes marriage delay. One reason for a delay in marriage is Rahu drishti. Even if Rahu's 5th drishti is in the 7th house, marriage prospects are still delayed.
Even if the horoscope is strong, marriage will not happen in the wrong dasha. In astrology, if Mahadasha is of a different planet that doesn't have compatibility with the lord of the 7th house, then it causes a delay in marriage.
The running period of Saturn, Rahu, or Ketu can delay marriage unless these planets are well placed. Marriage usually occurs in the Venus, Jupiter, or seventh lord dasha when these planets are exalted.
