What Is Mangal Dosha?

Mangal Dosh plays a vital role in deciding Hindu marriages, where matching horoscopes to check the compatibility is a common occurrence. In a natal chart or horoscope, if Mars (aka Mangal or Kuja) falls in either 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house ascendant, then the person is said to be affected by Mangal Dosha and is known as a Manglik.

Mars is the planet of war. The presence of mars in any of the mentioned houses causes tensions and disasters in marriage. Hence, people who are affected by the Kuja dosha are short-tempered. Both boy or girl can have this dosh and is not specific to a particular gender. As a general thumb rule, manglik marrying a non-manglik is inauspicious, as it may lead to the death of their partners in the worst cases. Mangal dosh is mostly seen during the marriage or after the marriage of the person and its effects can be reduced by doing certain remedies for a happy life.
