How can a Manglik marry a Non-Manglik?
In Vedic astrology, Mangal Dosha—commonly known as Manglik Dosha—is one of the most discussed and sometimes feared astrological conditions when it comes to marriage. It occurs when Mars (Mangal) is placed in the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house in a person’s birth chart. A person with this placement is termed a Manglik.
The widespread belief is that if a Manglik marries a non-Manglik, it can lead to severe issues like marital conflict, separation, or even the untimely death of the spouse. But is it really that black and white?
This article explores the concept of Manglik Dosha, the compatibility between a Manglik and a non-Manglik, and the astrological remedies that can help ensure a happy marriage.
What is Manglik Dosha?
Mars is a fiery and aggressive planet. In Vedic astrology, Mars represents war, aggression, passion, drive, arguments and conflict. When Mars is placed in certain houses—especially those directly connected to marriage (like the 4th house, 7th house and 8th house)—it is believed to bring instability or tension in marital relationships.
Depending on its intensity, Mangal Dosha can be mild, moderate, or severe. Not all Mangliks will face marriage-related issues, especially if Mars is placed favorably in the birth chart, or if there are other balancing planetary aspects in the chart.
Is Manglik and Non-Manglik Marriage = Marital Disaster
This belief has been deeply ingrained in Indian matrimonial customs. In fact, some families refuse to even consider proposals unless both horoscopes are matched carefully for Mangal Dosha.
However, modern astrologers and even many traditional Vedic scholars now agree that this belief is often exaggerated at times and not all placements of Mars is bad. Many successful and happy marriages have occurred between a Manglik and a non-Manglik, with no signs of the dreaded consequences. Some believe that the influence of benefic planets in the birth chart have played a significant role in curtailing the malefic influence of Mars. They believe that there are certain placements of Mars in the birth chart which should never be ignored.
So, what really matters? Let’s look at the facts.
The Reality: Not All Manglik Doshas Are the Same
The most important thing you need to understand is that not all manglik dosha are the same. As there is not much fear and misinformation in this regard, people tend to panic. The strength of Mangal dosha is checked from Lagna and also Moon. In some places in India it is checked from Venus as well. The mangal dosha strength depends upon the following.
-
The house Mars occupies
-
The sign Mars is in
-
The strength of Mars itself
-
The aspects of planets like Jupiter and Moon
-
Its position from lagan, Moon and Venus at times.
Many times, the presence of benefic influences nullifies the dosha completely. This is known as Mangal Dosha Cancellation or Mangal Dosha exceptions. Most astrologers do not check mangal dosha cancelation in detail and just suggest remedies as they make more money through remedies.
Astrological Remedies for Manglik + Non-Manglik Marriages
If there is concern about Manglik Dosha, several remedies are traditionally suggested by astrologers to minimize or nullify its effects:
1. Kumbh Vivah
One of the most common remedies. The Manglik person symbolically marries a clay pot, peepal tree, or silver idol of Vishnu before marrying the real partner. This ritual is believed to nullify the dosha.
2. Fasting on Tuesdays
Manglik individuals can fast on Tuesdays (the day of Mars), consuming only toor dal or simple vegetarian food.
3. Chanting Hanuman Chalisa
Mars is closely associated with Lord Hanuman. Reciting the Hanuman Chalisa, especially on Tuesdays, is believed to pacify the aggressive energy of Mars.
4. Wearing a Coral Gemstone
Under the guidance of an astrologer, wearing a red coral ring (associated with Mars) can help in balancing its influence.
5. Poojas and Homams
Mangal Shanti Pooja and Navagraha Homams can be performed to calm down the malefic effects of Mars.
