But some points need to be noticed while doing match making of horoscopes. In majority of the marriage’s that take place, normally horoscopes of the boy and girl are matched and then marriages are solemnized. Despite the horoscopes being matched and got good points than too divorce takes place. There are various reasons for divorce and there are various yogas in astrology.

Marriage Conflicts Leading To Separation & Divorce (between married couple and couple without marriage)

The Natural malefic planets like Saturn, Mars, Rahu and Katu are the agents of Divorce. Sun acts as a catalyst in divorce creates a conflicts but if associated with ascendant or 7th house specially when Sun is in enemy sign and under malefic influences can give divorce. The houses 2nd, 4th, 5th 7th 8th, 11th and 12th are concerned with marital affairs. When these houses become weak and their lords associated with or aspected by malefics they signify trouble in married life. When malefic planets are placed in the crucial houses like Mars occupying the 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house is sure sign of trouble. In Vedic astrology a horoscope with Mars in these positions is marked as “Maanglik” which means one with Martian blemish. This position of Mars signifies, divorce, separation or death of partner if other malefic influences also there.

Position of 7^th lord and karaka of marriage is most important. If 7^th lord or Venus is in malefic houses and afflicted with malefics separations may occur. If 7^th lord is debilitated and afflicted by malefics or in close conjunction with Sun then also separation may occur. When there is malefic influence on 7^th house or Venus or Mars or 7^th lord is hemmed between malefics or in conjunction with malefics then also separation may occur. 7th Lord and Venus conjunction with malefics is more important. This is not for married couple only but also for the people undergoing relations without marriage.

Mars also play an important role in marriage. It is the significator of energy. Its influence on 7^th house is not considered good. When Mars is placed in 1^st, 4^th, 7^th, 12^th houses it influence 7^th house and if there are other malefic influences also it can ruined marriage which can lead to divorce.  Mars placement from Venus in those houses also considered bad specially in Kendra from Venus. Venus position in gandmool nakshara or in Rahu nakshatra or in Sun nakshatra also add fuel to this. Saturn impact on Venus is also not considered good. More malefic influence on 7^th house can lead to divorce. Venus with Sun or Mars may also end up in divorce if no benefic influence is there. This position of planets and 7^th house must also be checked from Moonsign and also in navansha chart. 2nd and 8^th house also important for marriage if they are under malefic influencs can lead to divorce. Planets occupying the 8th house suggests involvement of secret matters, extramarital and sexual relationships.

Major opportunities for divorce are bhukti period of Ketu, karaka for disconnection, disorientation, lord of the 12th from ascendant or Moon may also cause separation.  12^th from ascendant gives loss or detachment. 6^th house lord and planet influencing 6^th house may also give.

In kp system significators of houses 6,8,12,10 are to be considered for divorce if separation from the partner due to disharmony or difference of opinion. But if quarrel is involved then 8^th house is also to be considered.

This can also be checked with KAS astrology also. If there is more difference between the points of ascendant and 7^th from ascendant, Moon, Sun, Venus problems in married life expected depend upon the benefic and malefic influence of planets on Venus, Moon and 7^th house and of course ascendant.

Therefore, it is very advisable to get the horoscope analyzed and proper marriage compatibility be done before going to enter for the most important and sophisticated institute of marriage. 

Remedies

Remedies can be done for malefic influence. Remedies will mitigate the bad effect of planets. Horoscopes should be matched before marriage. Remedies, if any, in such situations should be performed properly. Actually, all these points should be taken in to account only at the time of matching the horoscopes of both i.e. before marriage. After marriage, if such situation arises, it is sometimes hard to rebuild the relationship even with the remedies unless there is some auspicious planetary combination present in the chart. Proper remedies can be performed by consulting the astrologer.
