Mangal Dosha is extremely harmful as we have been knowing from not only our parents but also from the experienced astrologer. The parents are afraid of knowing that their most loved son and daughter are affected by Mangal Dosha which has been deterring many marriage proposals. 
Even the non–believers in astrology starts showing horoscope to the astrologer stealthily to get rid of dangerous Mangal Dosh after getting rejected by marriage proposals due to presence of Kuja Dosh
What is Mangal Dosha
Mangal Dosh is a widely popular household name which every Indian knows. Generally speaking, every household are scary of accepting the daughter-in-law having Managal Dosh. The parents are in search of Mangalik girl for their son and vice versa.
The Mangal Dosh has many synonyms such as Kuja Dosh, Mangalik Dosha, Mangali, Bhouma Dosh and Mars Dosh etc.
The people are afraid of tying the knot with the person having mangal dhosh. Mangal Dosha is condition formed by the planet mars in the natal chart.
The calculation for a Mangali Chart is very simple. When the planet Mars is posited in the 1st (Ascendant), 4th house, 7th house, 8th house and 12th house the Mangal Dosha occurs. The presence of Mars in the 2nd house in the birth chart is considered as Bhouma Dosha in South India.
The presence of mars in these house makes the horoscope fearful and gives an opportunity for astrologer to predict the result of Mangal Dosh and prescribing expensive remedial measures as well.
How Mangal dosh is harmful
It is very important to have a peaceful married life. Your birth chart needs to be free from any sorts of planetary hurdles to lead problem-free married life. The thumb rule of better married life is given here.
- Good health
- The availability of the products that is required in the modern lifestyle such as television, refrigerator, vehicles, washing machines, smart phones, music systems and all other modern gadgets.
- Mutual sexual pleasure
- Life span and safety from unwanted incidents like calamity and assaults etc.
- Power of buying the household products to lead an easy and sophisticated life.
All these factors will be affected when the planet Mars is posited in the Lagna or 1st, 4th house, 7th house, 8th house, 12th house and even in the 2nd house as per the rules prevailing in South India.
Hence, it indicates the boy or girl having Manglik Dosh may have health issues, difference of opinion, lack of worldly affairs, sexual pleasure and even it becomes an obstacle to have children.
Does Mangal Dosha instigate marital discord
Since we know that the planet Mars is one of the most powerful planet in the zodiac after the Sun, this can be extremely harmful if not well placed in the birth chart. The position of the mars in the birth chart can indicate different results in different houses.
If the planet Mars is posited in the ascendant, then the couple are likely to have health issues and psychological discord.
When it is posited in the 4th house, it will be harmful to the general wellbeing. In case the planet Mars is place in the 4th house in a girl’s chart, then there will be continuous fight between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
When the planet Mars is posited in the 7th house, it will create sever difference of opinion, arrogance, quarrel and fights between husband and wife. It will all happen since 7th house indicates marriage and matrimonial happiness.
When the planet Mars is posited in the 8th house, the partner is likely to die since the 8th house is the indicator of the death.
If the planet Mars is posited in the 12th house in the girl’s chart, then the girl will be sexually stronger than the husband.
Does Mangal Dosha make one widow
The death and disease makes everyone fearful. We all are afraid of either death, disease and mental disharmony when a boy or girl approach for a matrimonial knot.
The question comes now can the planet mars kill the native. The answer is simple and straight forward. The only Mangal dosh does not kill the native or spouse. There are other factors to be taken in to account.
First of all, you should know the position of the 7th house and its strength. If the 7th house and lord of 7th house is afflicted by the malefic planet Mars, Saturn, Sun, Rahu and Ketu then there is a strong possibility of having death of the life partner. And sometimes it may not be exactly death since the life span to be taken into consideration while computing birth chart.
The affliction of the 7th house and 7th lord can bring separation in many form. I have seen many people with affliction of 7th house and its lords, still they are staying in the same home without speaking term.
Some have been seen to abandon the home and family altogether. While, some class of people have gone astray.
Therefore, it is not always necessary that the spouse will be widow due to the presence of Mars in the ascendant, 4th house, 7th house, 8th house and 12th house.
What statistics says about Mangal Dosha
The Mangal Dosh is widespread and almost 90% of the population who believe in astrology are afraid of the Kuja Dosh. However, the statistic says something else. Lets discuss about the statistics of the Mangal Dosh.
I must say to use little mental math to understand Mangal Dosh better. Most of the people do calculate Mars dosh from the Lagna itself. While, it is recommended to calculated Mangal Dosh from the Moon Lagna and Shukra lagna as well.
If we consider all the factors form Lagna, Moon and Venus then all the population of the world are likely to become Mangalik. And not all the people are having matrimonial dispute or death etc.
Not to speak of Moon and Venus, even the Lagna chat indicates almost 42% of the people are Mangalik. Does it mean that 42% of the people are suffering due to presence of Mars in the Lagna, 4th house, 7th house, 8th house and 12th house. In fact, there will 50% of the people will be Mangalik if we consider 2nd Mars as per the South Indian principle.
So, the calculation here says you need to take other factors to predict all about marriage, though Mars has a significant role in destroying your married life.
Let’s discuss astrologers view
As we all know that all the astrological books are written by male, the shastras have been male oriented.
When a person consults an astrologer with a stronger planet of Mars, the astrologer does predict that the native is courageous, forceful, independent, strong willed, determined, adventurous, managerial, administrative, commanding, outspoken and can be highly successful in the field of defense, military and administration as well as security etc.
These are the positive factors which are predicted for the male horoscope by an astrologer.
However, the astrologer does predict just reverse in case of a girl with the same position of planets of mars in the birth chart.
The astrologer starts predicting immediately that the girl is arrogant, harsh in speaking, quarrelsome, non-cooperative, aggressive, stubborn, housebreaker, intolerant and dominating. The position of Mars may also kill the life partner.
Therefore, it is extremely important to always consult an astrologer who is wise, considerate and helpful.
What I believe, the prediction should be equal, no matter if the native is a male or female.
