Marriages in India are largely based on Kundali Milan (horoscope matching). It is considered as a crucial step before making any final commitment to the prospective bride and groom. One major reason why kundli is matched before marriage is to understand how compatible the bride and groom are. Here are five reasons to match your Kundali before getting marriage.
To check marriage compatibility
According to Hindu Shastras, nature considers man and women as single identity after marriage. Marriage is regarded as a religious ceremony and marriage provide the equality of the partner in respect of Dharma (right conduct), Artha (financial position), Kama (sex relation) and Moksha (final salvation). As a result one spouse's destiny, luck and fate influence the other. It can either create wonders or lead to a bad relationship. This is why kundali milan plays a vital role in decoding the marriage compatibility of two people.
Financial stability and career prospects
When two people unite in the sacred relationship of marriage, the movement of their planets has an affect not only on their lives, but on each other's lives too. Bhakoot, the seventh guna of the eight gunas indicates this effect. By matching kundlis, financial stability and job prospects are also looked into.
To know relationship quotient
Guna or Ashtakoot, is one of the major parameters taken into consideration while matching a kundali. Altogether, there are eight gunas that are taken into consideration to test the amity between two people. Each guna has different numeric points, which when added, sum up to a total of 36. The marriage is acceptable if two kundalis match with 18 or more points. Higher score means better compatibility.
To foresee mental and physical compatibility
Both partner's mindset, behavior, temper, interest and aptitude are predicted through kundali Milan. This ensures a happy marriage. Also, the level of physical attraction is tested since marriage cannot survive if there is no feeling of desirability for each other. Moreover, the health condition of to-be bride and groom is also a point to be considered.
To consider the longevity of the bride and the groom
When there is no longevity in the case of bride and grrom, the horoscope is rejected even though the kundali is strong or the requisite numbers of Gunas are available.
Special Poojas (if required) for a better life
Once the kundlis are matched the astrologer may suggest certain poojas for a happy married life. Sometimes, doshas found after matching kundlis can be corrected after performing certain poojas. Even when kundlis match, certain poojas are advised after detailed analysis of the stars of the bride and groom, for a successful and problem-free married life.
