"It is never too late. Never too late to start over, never too late to be happy."—Jane Fonda

Over the past few decades, the age of marriage is on the rise. And now we have reached a point when more than half of the weddings happen post thirty years of age. This delay in marriage phenomenon may be viewed as a symbol of progress and could have resulted to many positive points also. So, nothing to worry. Still, there are many who, at a certain age, realize that with delay in marriage, they have crossed the family formation age. Then lot of negative thoughts start coming to the mind.

To assess & evaluate any problem, one need to know the impact, reasons and solution to the problem. However, if there is a problem then there has to be solution also. So, now let us elaborate all these 3 factors individually.

Impact of Delay in Marriage

Generally, delay in marriage brings family unrest, social pressures, social backbiting, feelings of incompetence, inferiority complex, and sometimes physical imbalances, frustration also. There are many other specific irreversible physical and psychological impact due to delay in marriage like:

1. Childbirth issues rise with age.

2. Financial incompatibility rises with age.

3. The chances for Getting a compatible partner reduces with age.

4. Body ailments increase with age that can obstruct the running of good marriages.

5. With age, people develop new responsibilities which are hard to shed and could also obstruct the smooth running of the marriage.

6. Happy families are less seen in those going for delayed marriages.

7. With age come, numerous relationships that could come haunting and obstruct the marriage.

However, one should never get distracted with all this unless the reasons for the delay in marriage are deeply understood. This process can take a little time but at least can save you making a haste and wrong decision. My advice here is do not get deterred as a wrong decision due to any of these impacting perceptions will go a long way in your life.

Reasons for Delay in Marriage - Why I am not getting?

There are two types of reasons for this. One is the planetary combinations in horoscope and another is human reasons causing delay in marriage. You read and you would find different astrological reasons explained at many platforms. However, human or say self-created reasons may be a totally different narrative that you would know reading this. Now let us understand both these reasons little more in detail.

1. Human reasons for delay in marriage: You may be surprised with this revelation but my experience of over 2 decades make me write this. Yes, humans are given some amount of free-will. So in case of marriage, there could be some self or family-related reasons such as being too selective or not finding a partner from a family of equal status, etc. Therefore, one must not rule out any such causes of delay. Many a times, the native himself / herself or the closest relatives. You would be surprised that these people could be as close as your father, mother or siblings and friends also. Now another factor here is that they may not be doing it deliberately. But then if such reasons become the cause for delay in marriage, it becomes more difficult to overcome them as these are human created and remain active in giving & continuing with it. Now they may not be doing it deliberately as there must be again some planets like Sun (the father), Moon (the mother) and likewise could be causing it to happen. The person who has not got married and his/her parents both view the delay in marriage with different perceptive in their mind. What is termed as a delay for the parents might not be for the native and vice versa.

2. Astrological reasons for delay in marriage: Now coming down to the astrological reasons of delay in marriage. We need to know which planets and houses signify marriage and Dashas and Transits of which planets decide about the timing of marriage. Knowledge of these will help in predicting the probable period when a marriage can take place.

a) Houses for Marriage: As per Vedic astrology, the 7th house is the main house of marriage. But two more houses viz. the 2nd and the 11th also are important in finalizing any marital-alliance. The 2nd house represents the family so that marriage will make an addition of a member in the family; hence this house also comes in picture. The 11th house is the house of friendship, and a life partner is a true life-long friend. Also, the 11th house is the house of fulfilment of one's desires, hopes, and wishes. If it is a love marriage, then the 5th house also needs to be considered

b) Planets for Marriage: Two main significators of marriage are Venus and Jupiter. In a male's chart, Venus represents the spouse, and in a female's chart, Jupiter represents her husband. Apart from these, the following can also come into the picture:

1. The lords of 2nd, 7th, and 11th houses

2. Lord of the house in which the 7th lord is placed

3. The Navmansha sign of the 7th lord

4. Planets placed in the 7th house

5. Planets conjunct the 7th lord

6. Lord of the 5th house in case of love marriage

7. The Nakshatra lords of the above planets.

c) Dashas and Transits: Marriage can take place during the Dashas of relevant planets, and during that, Dasha, Lord transit of the lords of 2nd, 7th, and 11th houses as Lord as Jupiter on these houses and the ascendant or its lord.

The two Karaka planets—Jupiter and Venus—and the lord of one’s seventh house, strengthen the yogas of a marriage in one’s horoscope and creates the promise of marriage. If these planets are negatively afflicted or weekly placed, they weaken the yoga of marriage and delay it.

In addition to the above factors, other factors that cause a delay in marriages include the lords of the second, seventh, and eleventh houses; lord of the house where the seventh house lord is placed; the Navamsa sign of the seventh house lord; the planets positioned in the seventh house; the planets in sync with the seventh house lord; in case of a love marriage, the lord of the fifth house is considered and all the Nakshatra Lords of the planets. Apart from these things, some planetary combinations also delay the marriages of natives. For instance—when the planets, Mars, and Venus conjunct in the fifth, seventh, and ninth house, they create such a yoga that natives themselves do not want to get married. If malefic planets are placed in the first, seventh, or twelfth houses of native’s horoscope, and a week Moon is placed in the fifth house, they delay marriages and make the bride infertile or barren. Likewise, many such planetary conditions are responsible for delayed marriages.

What causes a delay in marriage? What combinations in one's kundali can mar the yogas of marriage?

A late marriage or delayed marriage is such a complex problem that many youngsters are coping with. Well-educated young women often abhor young men who are old-fashioned or have orthodox thinking. Besides, the malefic effects of planets delay their marriages. So, it is crucial to peep into both astrological and psychological troubles that delay marriages.

Astrological Reasons

Venus is the planet that throws light on relationships and love and plays a vital role in the natives’ wedding. If this plant is in sync with malefic planets, such as Saturn, Ketu, or Sun, there is a possibility of delayed marriage. If Venus is in a debilitated condition, a native cannot make decisions regarding their marriage. Apart from Venus, other planets also delay marriages. If Jupiter is a debilitating condition, it can delay marriage or cause turmoil in one’s marital life. If Mars is placed in one’s seventh house, it is advisable that natives should go for a late marriage or else problems will arise in their married life.

Human/Psychological Reasons

Human-made problems are also the causes of delayed marriages. In today’s modern era, young men women are equally educated. A well-educated girl often becomes the cause of jealousy to some relative, who creates obstacles in her marriage.

Nowadays, the ideal marriage age for young women is around 27-28 years, while that of a young man is 29-30 years.

This condition is also applicable for those young men and women employed in private sectors and multinational companies as they remain busy in settling their careers at this age. So, their professional life also becomes stumbling blocks to their marriages.

An astrologer can determine the right time for the youngsters to get married with the help of some planetary conditions.

Various types of problems–delay in marriages, the right time of marriage, the success of marital life, compatibility, etc. can be inferred from it.
