Before getting married, many Hindu couples often undertake Kundli Matching to find out if they are compatible. Kundli Matching, which is an important part of Relationship astrology, is the process of matching the Kundlis or horoscopes of the boy and the girl by an astrologer. By examining their birth charts, the astrologer can find out if they are compatible or not. If the incompatibility factors are high, certain remedies are performed to nullify the defects, and in some cases, the marriage may not go through as well.

 Factors for incompatibility

Some of the factors for incompatibility, as indicated by the birth charts, are given below.

 • Frequent arguments between the couple.

• Incompatibility in the physical or sexual relationship.

• Financial instability that can be present throughout the marriage or during a specific period due to the transition in stars.

• Emotional incompatibility leading to discord.

• Lack of progeny.

 If 36 Gunas match when the couple’s birth charts are compared, the marriage will be very happy as the couple will be compatible in every way.  Vashay, Tara, Varna, Graha Maitri, Nadi, Gana, and Bhakoota are very important in this respect. There should be at least 18 matching Gunas for compatibility, while the maximum is 36.

 If it is less than 18, the couple is deemed incompatible. In such cases, the marriage will not go through, most probably.

 Can anything be done to resolve this situation so that the marriage can take place? Let us find out.

 When the Kundali Doesn’t Match

Sometimes, the Kundlis may not match, but the marriage has to take place, due to the insistence of the couple who may be lovers. In such cases, one can do certain things salvage the situation. Here are some ways to save the marriage and make it a viable proposition from an astrological perspective.

 Remedy for 7th House

In a birth chart, the 7th House signifies partnerships and marriage. If it is weak, it indicates failure or problems in the marriage. Kumbh Vivah ritual is a remedy to make the 7th house stronger. The girl marries a pot (Kumbh) to remove the Dosha of widowhood after the marriage or a second marriage yoga. This remedy has to be done only with the help of an astrologer.

 Appeasing Venus

Venus governs love and harmony. Pleasing Venus can remove marital problems due to incompatibility. Wearing white sapphire or white clothes, worshipping Goddess Lakshmi, wearing silver jewelry, using nice fragrances, etc., can appease Venus and bring its blessings.

 Remedy for Varna Dosha

 Varna Dosha forms when the Varna of the boy and girl fails to match. If the groom has a higher Varna than the bride, the marriage will be successful. But if the girl’s Varna is higher, it can lead to incompatibility. Remedies like Poojas, doing charity, worshipping Yantras, and chanting certain Mantras can be performed to remove the Dosha.

 Mangal Dosha

Mangal Dosha is one of the worst Doshas related to marriage. Mangal Dosha causes marital problems and even the death of the spouse. Mangal Dosha can be removed by doing remedies like Poojas, Vivah with peepal tree, chanting Hanuman Chalisa or Navagraha Mantra, fasting on Tuesdays, and Kumbh Vivah.  If both partners have Mangal Dosha, it will not have any negative effects.

 Bhakoot/ Nadi Dosha

This Dosha leads to a lack of progeny. One remedy is to wear gems recommended by an astrologer. Another option is to perform the Arishth Gun Dosha Nivaran Pooja. This can eradicate the negative impact of Nadi Dosha.
