Common questions
- What is Manglik dosha?
- Kuja or Manglik dosha means Mars sits in house 1, 4, 7, 8 or 12 from the ascendant. Classical texts link it to friction in married life, so most proposals are checked for it.
- When is Manglik dosha not a problem?
- If Mars is outside houses 1, 4, 7, 8 and 12 there is no dosha. If it is inside, the three rules on the cancellation page can still set it aside.
- Does a cancelled Manglik dosha still lose points?
- Manglik has no points to lose. Your result shows it as a separate line: present, cancelled by a named rule, or both partners Manglik.
- Should we decide a marriage on Manglik dosha alone?
- No. It is one factor next to the 36-point total, the other doshas and both charts. Check your pair on our free tool and take the printed result to a pandit you trust.
