In Vedic Astrology, late marriage (after 32) is often indicated by specific planetary combinations (yogas) in the birth chart (Kundali). Here are the key astrological factors to analyze:

🔮 Key Planetary Combinations for Late Marriage (After 32)

1. Saturn (Shani) Dominance in 7th House

   • Saturn delays but stabilizes. If placed in the 7th house (marriage), it can postpone marriage until after its major period (Sade Sati or Dasha).

   • Worst Case: Saturn + Rahu/Ketu in 7th house → Severe delays or unconventional unions.

2. Afflicted Venus (Shukra)

   • Venus governs love and marriage. If debilitated (Libra) or conjunct malefics (Saturn, Rahu, Mars), it delays marriage.

   • Example: Venus in Scorpio (enemy sign) with Mars → Conflicts in relationships.

3. Ketu in 7th House

   • Ketu brings detachment. In the 7th house, it may indicate past-life karma leading to late marriage or spiritual unions.

4. Empty 7th House or Weak Lord

   • If the 7th house has no planets and its lord is weak/combust, marriage timing is delayed.

5. Mars (Mangal) in 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th Houses

   • Mangalik Dosha: Mars in these houses causes delays unless matched with another Mangalik partner. or its commonly known as the bad effect of Mars which has multiple other rules to check.

6. Rahu in 7th House

   • Rahu creates confusion and unconventional timelines. Marriage may happen suddenly after age 32.

7. Dasha Periods (Major Planetary Cycles)

   • If Saturn, Rahu, or Ketu’s major period (Mahadasha) activates the 7th house late in life (e.g., Saturn Dasha starts after 35).

8. Jupiter (Guru) in Delay-Inducing Positions

   • Jupiter in 6th, 8th, or 12th houses or conjunct Saturn can delay marriage.

🪐 Remedies to Reduce Delay (if desired)

• Mantras: Recite Venus mantra ("Om Shum Shukraya Namah") or Saturn mantra ("Om Sham Shanaischaraya Namah").

• Gemstones: Wear diamond (Venus) or blue sapphire (Saturn) only after expert advice.

• Poojas: Perform Parvati-Kalyanam puja or Navagraha Shanti.

• Charity: Donate white items (sugar, rice) on Fridays (Venus’s day).

📜 Example Chart Analysis

• Case: 7th lord in 8th house + Saturn in 7th → Marriage likely after 35-40 years.

• Solution: Strengthening Venus and Jupiter through remedies.

Note: Always check the entire chart (D1 + D9) for accurate predictions. A single placement isn’t conclusive!
