Matching For Marriage By Kootas and Birthcharts

by S.Natarajan

Marriage is a sacred occasion for Hindus. While the necessity to marry a second wife is not desirable for men, second marriage is prohibited for Hindu women. Therefore great care has to be exercised in uniting a girl and boy in wedlock. To ensure a long and happy married life, our Sages have devised a method of testing matrimonial adaptability which is called "Marriage Matching". Marriage matching is a part of Muhurtha Astrology and almost all books have dealt only with matching by kootas'. There is no mention what so ever, about comparison of Birth Charts for matching. Fortunately, an ancient Tamil classic on Astrology has dealt with matching by kootas and also by charts.
