Happiness or unhappiness in married life depends on three factors – Mutual understanding of the bride and the groom, matching Natal Charts and marriage conducted in rectified strong Lagna. In this article, the important aspects of Kuja Dosha are discussed, while matching the horoscopes.

The way Kuja Dosha is understood nowadays, has its roots in “Jatak Parijat”, as per sloka given under matching the horoscopes of the bride and the groom, stated below.
That is, in the horoscope of the groom, if Mars is situated in 2nd, 12th, 7th, 4th or 8th houses from Lagna, indicates destruction of his wife. Similarly, in the bride’s horoscope, if Mars is in these houses, indicates destruction of her husband. This combination is known as Kuja Dosha or Manglik Dosha.
This means, in the horoscope of the bride, if Mars is in Lagna, 12th, 4th, 7th or 8th house and is not aspected or conjoined by natural benefics , it will destroy her husband. The ill effects vanish if conjoined or aspected by the combination of Jupiter, Venus and Mercury (with benefics) and Waxing Moon. This concept has been forgotten nowadays and instead the following is popular and referred:
That is, if the horoscope of bride or groom has Kuja Dosha and if it is matched with a horoscope having in any one of these houses, Saturn or other Malefics, then Kuja Dosha gets annulled or cancelled. At the gross level, this is right. To analyze the level or strength of the Dosha, we need to see their rasi equivalence in both horoscopes. For example, if Saturn is in a debilitation rasi while Mars is in neutral, then the Dosha does not get cancelled because the effect of debilitation rasi is 100% and the effect of neutral rasi is only 60%. Only when both are in equivalent dignity or status, the condition of “Taadrusho” or equivalence gets fulfilled.
According to Varahamihira, in Exaltation a planet gives full auspicious results, if in Trikona, gives one-fourth less, if in its own Rasi gives half, in friend’s Rasi gives one-fourth, in enemy’s Rasi gives very little and in debilitation or combustion gives nil auspicious results.
