We have been looking for a match for two years and nothing gets fixed. Now my parents want my kundli checked. Can you see what my chart says about marriage?
Yes, we can look at it together. Please share your date, time and place of birth. In Vedic astrology I first read your 7th house, its lord and Venus, then the dasha you are running now. After that we talk about what the chart shows and what you can do.
Short answer
You can talk to an astrologer about marriage by chat or call, with your date, time and place of birth ready.

Questions range from timing and delay to manglik dosha, low guna scores and separation. On Kismo, verified astrologers answer online from anywhere in India and abroad.

What does an astrologer check for a marriage question?
An astrologer checks the same few parts of the kundli for almost every marriage question, then adds the partner's chart for a match. Kismo is an app where you talk to verified Vedic astrologers by chat or call, in 16 languages.
- The 7th house and its lord come first. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra (chapter 18, verse 1) links a 7th lord in its own or exalted sign with full happiness through the spouse 4.
- Venus is read as the indicator of married life. The same chapter (verse 18) ties a weak Venus, the Moon in the 7th and the 7th lord in the 12th to less marital happiness 4.
- The 2nd and 7th houses show family life. Phaladeepika (chapter 10, verse 7) says benefics there point to a couple who are lucky together; in a woman's chart it reads the 7th and 8th 5.
- For a match, many families use the 36-point guna milan, where 18 points or more is the usual pass mark 6.
- Mars is checked for manglik dosha, also called mangal dosh or kuja dosha: Mars in the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house, and in the 2nd in South India 6.
Which marriage problems can an astrologer help with?
- Marriage timing
For timing: the astrologer reads the 7th lord, Venus and the running dasha to name the periods the chart links with marriage.
- Delayed marriage
For a marriage that keeps getting pushed back: the astrologer looks for what slows the 7th house, often Saturn, and when that period eases.
- Manglik dosha
For Mars in a sensitive house: the astrologer confirms the dosha, checks its cancellation rules and compares the partner's chart.
- Kundli matching
For two charts side by side: guna milan or the regional system, such as Tamil poruthams, plus doshas and both 7th houses.
- Low guna score
For a match under 18 points: the astrologer checks which kootas lost points and whether the rest of both charts makes up for it.
- Nadi dosha
For two people with the same nadi: the astrologer looks at the 8-point koota and the classical exceptions to it.
- Bhakoot dosha
For Moon signs 6-8, 2-12 or 5-9 apart: the astrologer checks the 7-point koota and the rules that cancel it.
- Saturn in the 7th house
For Saturn in the house of marriage: sign, aspects and dasha decide whether astrologers read delay, an older partner or a steady bond.
- Rahu in 7th house
For Rahu in the 7th: astrologers often read an unusual or cross-boundary match, and check Ketu in the 1st along with it.
- Second marriage
For marrying again after divorce or a spouse's death: the astrologer reads the chart afresh for a second bond and its timing.
- Divorce and separation
For a marriage in trouble: the astrologer looks at what strains the 7th house now and when that period passes, next to a counsellor or lawyer.
What do people in India face around marriage?
Women in India marry about six years younger than men: NFHS-5 (2019-21) puts the median age at first marriage at 18.8 years for women and 24.9 for men aged 25-49 1. Urban women marry at a median of 20.1 years, rural women at 18.2 1. Women with 12 or more years of school marry at 22.8, against 17.1 for women with no schooling 1.
Most marriages in India are still arranged by families. In the India Human Development Survey, less than 5% of women said they chose their husband independent of their parents 2. About 62% felt their wishes were considered, yet 69% met their husband on the wedding day or shortly before 2.
When a marriage ends in India, it ends more often in separation than in divorce: the 2011 Census counted 4,225,940 women who were separated or divorced, and 63% of them were separated 3. The share was highest among women aged 35-39 3. NFHS-5 also found that 11% of marriages are between relatives, more often in the southern states except Kerala 1.

Questions people ask
Can I talk to an astrologer about my marriage online?
Yes. A marriage reading needs only your birth details, so it works fully online by chat or call. You can talk to an astrologer about marriage on Kismo, where verified Vedic astrologers answer in 16+ languages, from anywhere in India and abroad. Keep your date, time and place of birth ready, and your partner's if you want the match checked.
How much does it cost to ask an astrologer about my marriage on Kismo?
Each astrologer on Kismo sets one rate for chat and call, starting from ₹15 a minute. You pay from a wallet with a minimum top-up of ₹100, billed per started minute, and only the minutes you use are charged. Your first session carries 5 free minutes with no card needed, which is often enough to share your details and ask one question.
What details does an astrologer need for a marriage reading?
An astrologer needs your date of birth, exact time of birth and place of birth. For kundli matching, the same three details are needed for your partner. It also helps to say what you want to know: timing, a specific match, a dosha someone mentioned, or trouble in an existing marriage. Clear questions make a short session more useful.
Can an astrologer tell me my exact wedding date?
No. No astrologer can promise a wedding date. In Vedic astrology an astrologer can point to periods that the chart links with marriage, using the dasha and transits, and explain why. Life choices, family decisions and chance still shape what happens. Treat a precise date, especially one sold with a costly ritual, as a red flag.
Is kundli matching necessary if we are having a love marriage?
No, kundli matching is a choice, not a rule, and many couples marry without it. Some families still ask for it in a love marriage, mainly to check manglik dosha and the guna score. An astrologer can read both charts and explain what the score means, so the couple and their families can talk about it calmly.
How do I know if a marriage astrologer is genuine or a fraud?
A genuine astrologer explains what they see in your chart and never promises an outcome. Red flags are fear-based warnings, pressure to pay for an expensive puja now, and requests for money outside the platform. Every astrologer on Kismo passes a qualification review, a panel interview, live audits of real sessions and a 30-day probation before taking sessions.
Can astrology help if my marriage is in trouble right now?
Astrology can give a couple a way to talk about a hard phase, but it cannot fix a marriage on its own. An astrologer can show which period the chart links with strain and when it may ease. For fights, abuse or a legal step such as divorce, follow a marriage counsellor or a lawyer first.
What if I don't know my exact birth time for a marriage reading?
An astrologer can still help without an exact birth time, but the reading is less precise. The Moon sign and nakshatra are usually close enough for basic matching. Houses, the ascendant and dasha timing depend on the time, so an astrologer may try birth time rectification, using dates of past life events to narrow it down.
