Mangal Dosha Explained — Kuja Dosha in Kundali Matching
Mangal Dosha (Kuja Dosha) is assessed mainly from Mars in certain houses from Lagna, Moon, or Venus — traditionally linked to friction in marriage if unmatched. Definitions vary by school; always read the full chart, not a checkbox alone.
Vedaansh Compare highlights Mangal-related checks alongside Ashtakoot so you can see both partners’ charts together.

Common lists include Mars in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th from Lagna (and often from Moon). Some traditions also check from Venus. Exact house sets differ by lineage.
Because Lagna depends on birth time, uncertain times make Mangal rulings unreliable until the chart is rectified.
Cancellations and pairing
Many texts describe cancellations — for example when both partners are Manglik, or when Mars is strong/benefically aspected in specific ways. Treat viral “exceptions” carefully; confirm with a classical source or qualified Jyotishi.
Nadi, Bhakoot, and overall 7th-house / D9 strength often matter as much as a Mangal flag.
