How does Vedic astrology determine marriage timing?

Marriage timing is read primarily from the 7th house (partnership) and its lord, along with Venus and Jupiter (the natural significators of relationship and marriage). Timing itself comes from the Vimshottari Dasha: marriage tends to happen when the dasha or antardasha activates the 7th house, its lord, Venus, or Jupiter.

Why does my current dasha matter for marriage timing?

The dasha you are in sets the theme of years. Some periods are naturally more relationship-focused (Venus, Jupiter periods activating the 7th house) than others (Saturn periods can bring delay, Mars periods can bring intensity or friction). Knowing your current period is the first, free step; a full reading checks whether it actually connects to your 7th house.

Can this be used to check someone else's marriage timing, like a child's?

Yes. Enter their birth details instead of your own. The chart computation works the same way for any birth data. This is a common and traditional use of Jyotish: parents reading a child's chart for exactly this question.

Why do some people marry "late" by their dasha?

Delay in marriage timing often traces to specific patterns: Saturn's influence on the 7th house or lord, Mangal Dosha (Mars afflicting the 7th house) without cancellation, or a 7th lord that is weak or badly placed. These are diagnosable from the full chart, not guessable from the dasha alone.
