The marriage of an individual according to Prasna Marg will not be favourable for him if the owners of the ascendant, second, seventh and Venus are badly placed and are combust, debilitated, and in inimical navamshas.
The marriage will not be happy, according to Mahadev in Jatakatatva, when a naturally malefic planet associates with Venus or occupies the seventh house from it.
An individual will not marry, or his spouse may die early according to Prasna Marg (a) if the seventh house is weak, has influence of naturally malefic planets, does not have influence of either naturally beneficial planets, or of the owner of the seventh house or of the owner of the ascendant; (b) if the owner of the seventh house and Venus are debilitated in the navamsha chart or are placed in inimical navamshas; (c) if these two planets are combust; (d) if these planets are under influence of naturally malefic planets and have no redeeming influence of naturally beneficial planets; or (e) if these two planets occupy trik houses.

naturally beneficial planet is in the second house from the ascendant. She will die a spinster if Saturn Occupies the seventh house under influence of a naturally malefic planet. Naturally malefic planets in
the seventh and eighth houses indicate widowhood but if a naturally beneficial planet is placed in the ninth house this will be averted.
Brihat Parashar Hora Shastra has given several combinations that specify ages at which matters relating to the marriage of the individual will happen. According to Parashar, when Rahu is in the second house and Mars in seventh it shows that the wife of the
individual will die within three days of marriage. It could be due to snake bite. Parashar also says that Mars in the sixth, Rahu in the seventh, and Saturn in the eighth house show that the wife of the
individual will not live long.

When Venus has naturally malefic planets on both sides of it and has no influence of naturally beneficial planets, the individual may face threat to his life, according to Prasna Marg, from his wife

The wife of the individual will face danger, according to Prasna Marg, when naturally malefic planets occupy the fourth and eighth houses from Venus and it has no influence of naturally beneficial planets on it.

such a case if Venus is in a watery sign with the Moon her death would be due to drowning.
Satya Jatakam states a general principle that if a naturally malefic planet is placed in a trik house from a house and if the owner of the trik house is in that house, the affairs of the house will face severe setback in the period of the planet occupying the house. Therefore matters relating to the marriage of an individual will be adversely affected in the period of the owner of the second, sixth or twelfth house from the ascendant (trik houses from the seventh house) occupying the seventh house if a naturally malefic planet is placed in the trik house. To clarify further, suppose Mars occupies the second house in a Gemini ascendant chart. The marriage of the individual will be adversely impacted in the period
of the Moon if it occupies Sagittarius.
A male individual, according to Phaldeepika, will not have a wife or children if Saturn joins the Moon in the seventh house. When this combination occurs in the chart of a female individual she will remarry

The owner of the seventh house or the Sun in a sign and navamaha of naurally malefic planets, or associated with or under aspect of a naturally malefic planet according to Prasna Marg indicates that the wife will be troublesome and indined to vice. It is also stated by this authority that if the owner of the navamsha in which the owner of the seventh house is placed is combust, debilitated, placed in an inimical sign, under aspect of a naturally malefic planet, or flanked by two such planets, the individual will have more than one wife,
Bhavartha Ratnakar states that association of the owner of the seventh house with Venus having no influence of a naturally malefic planet shows that the individual will marry only once.

The association of Venus and Saturn in the seventh house shows that the Individual will be devoted to his wife,
Sarvarth Chintamani says that (a) if the owner of the seventh house is associated with a Node and is under aspect of a naturally malefic planet the individual will be adulterous; (b) the Moon in the seventh house within 72° of the Sun and associated with a naturally malefic planet will give similar results.

When the owner of the seventh house is placed in the fifth with ashubha yoga according to Satya Jatakam the individual will not have children, or wife may commit adultery and a child may be born to the individual through this act. Ashubha yoga is defined as follows: the planet occupies the sign or navamsha of a naturally malefic planet, it is flanked by naturally malefic planets, it is under aspect of a naturally malefic planet, or it occupies the 3rd, 5th, or 7th constellation from the one in which the Moon was placed at the time of birth
A Node with the owner of the seventh house under influence of a naturally malefic planet will turn the individual into a debauchee according to Mahadev in Jatakatatva. The individual will have a strong libido if the owner of the seventh house is in the ascendant or seventh according to Mahadev in Jatakatatva. Further, if the owner of the seventh house is in the second or twelfth house the individual would have liaison with several women.

Mahadev in Jatakatatva says that the individual may have more than one living wife when (a) the owner of the second house is weak and a naturally malefic planet occupies or projects an aspect to the house. (b) A similar combination with the seventh house too will have a similar effect. (c) Naturally malefic planets in the seventh and eighth houses and Mars in the twelfth too will give two living wives.
Jatakalankar has given some combinations relating to the ability of the wife of the individual to beget children. This house relates to the reproductive system of the female.

There are three such combinations given by Jatakalankar: (a) The Sun in the ascendant and Saturn in the seventh house; (b) the Moon without aspect of Jupiter in the tenth house and the Sun with Saturn in the seventh house; and, (c) Mars in the sixth and Saturn in the fourth house. If any one of these combinations exists in the chart the wife of the individual will not be able to bear children.
