Late Marriage in Kundli: Causes and Remedies

Marriage is an important aspect of life. But not everyone marries at the same age. Some might marry earlier, while others delay marriage. The reasons for late marriage can be many, ranging from career goals to seeking a perfect match and more. However, delays in marriage in astrology largely depend on the placement of planets in different houses in the birth chart.   

Not only that, yogas, dashas, and transits also determine when marriage will happen. The planet placement and other factors differ between males and females, and thus remedies also differ. For instance, in astrology, delay in marriage for females is due to afflicted Jupiter, while for males it is afflicted Venus.   

In this guide, we will explore what is considered a late marriage in astrology, the planetary combination that contributes to these delays, and effective remedies (such as the use of the yellow sapphire stone for females) for it. 

What Is Considered a Late Marriage in Astrology? 

Late marriage in astrology is between 28 and 35 years and beyond. Though there is no fixed age for marriage today, Vedic astrology considers a marriage delayed when the planets responsible for it are not favorable. It is to be noted that late marriage in astrology and denial in marriage are two different things. While the former refers to the late occurrence of marriage, the latter represents that a person will never marry in their life.    

Since the two conditions differ, it is important to analyse the birth chart properly. A detailed horoscope analysis helps determine the exact reason for the marriage delay, and astrologers can suggest gemstones accordingly. 

How Does Astrology Predict Marriage Delay? 

In astrology, late marriage is often attributed to ill-placed planets such as Jupiter, Venus, Mars, and Saturn. An afflicted 7th house also delays marriage. Let's know more about it: 

• The Role of the 7th house: In astrology, all marriage-related aspects are usually determined by the 7th house. This house indicates the spouse’s appearance, job, happiness, or conflicts in marriage. If the 7th house is surrounded by core malefic planets such as Saturn, the Sun, Rahu, Ketu, and Mars, the individual faces a marriage delay.

• Venus: For males, the planet Venus is responsible for marriage. If Venus is afflicted, then there are chances of delay in marriage for males. 
• Jupiter: For women, Jupiter is the planet responsible for marriage delay. If Jupiter is afflicted, then there are higher chances that the girl gets married after 28 years of age. A debilitated Jupiter and Guru Shani combination are possible reasons for delay in marriage as per astrology. 
• Saturn: Marriage not happening as per astrology? Saturn may be the reason. If Shani drishti is on the 7th house of your birth chart, then there are chances of marriage delay. People under the weak 7th house, because of Shani's influence, usually have marriage after 35 in astrology.    
• Rahu and Ketu: Afflicted Rahu and Ketu create Kal Sarp Dosh, which can also lead to delays in marriage. 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 falls in the 7th house, marriage prospects remain delayed.  Ketu in the 7th house can delay marriage. It leads to detachment from worldly desires and a lack of marital happiness and romance in life. 
• Moon: The Shani-Moon combination creates a delay in marriage. While the Moon represents emotions and soothing energy, Shani is rigid and aggressive. Thus, both have conflicting energy leading to delay in marriage. 
• Navamsa chart (D9): This chart in Vedic astrology tells you about your marriage: life partner and relationship harmony. If the lord of the D9 chart is in the Trikshatn houses, that is, the 6th, 8th, and 12th houses, or is afflicted with the malefic planets like Saturn, Mars, Rahu, and Ketu, then there are chances of late marriage. 
• Dasha and transits: Even if the horoscope is strong, marriage will not happen in the wrong dasha. In astrology, if the 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.  If any of the planets transits like Saturn, Rahu, or Ketu are going on, it can delay marriage. Marriage usually occurs in the Venus, Jupiter, or seventh lord dasha when these planets are exalted. 
• Dosha: Manglik dosha is one of the reasons for marriage delay. When Mars is placed in the first, fourth, seventh, eighth, or twelfth house, marriage gets delayed, or proposals get rejected.

• Nadi Dosha: This dosha is not directly related to a delay in marriage. Nadi dosh in astrology is for childbirth in marriage. 
• Spiritual Overview: Past karmic influences and the belief that marriage may occur when the right time comes are the spiritual reasons for delayed marriage.

• Jupiter Remedies: For females, Jupiter is responsible for marriage. A powerful solution for a girl's delayed marriage is the Pukhraj stone ring. Wearing this Guru ratna ring on the index finger makes Jupiter favorable, which brings good marriage prospects for girls. 
• Saturn Remedies: Saturn is the planet responsible for late marriage. Since Saturn is a powerful planet in astrology, it is important to consult an astrologer before wearing its gemstone, which is blue sapphire. Chanting Shani mantra “Om Sham Shanaishcharaya Namah” and worshiping lord Hanuman are Saturn remedies for marriage. 

Other Astrological Remedies for Delay in Marriage

God delays marriage for your betterment. He might have some miracle waiting for you, maybe a good job, success, or a good life partner. So never forget to worship god.  

• To make Venus strong for marriage, chant the Venus mantra “Om Shum Shukraya Namah” on Fridays for males. 
• Observe a fast on Thursday for Jupiter. 
• Females should worship Guru (Brihaspati dev), while men should worship Lord Vishnu. 
• Wear a suitable gemstone only after expert advice. 

Conclusion 

Late marriage in astrology is because of the ill placement of planets. Wearing gemstones can accelerate marriage prospects and strengthen the relationship.
