स्त्रीजातकम्—
शुभाशुभं पूर्वजनेर्विपाकात्सीमन्तिनीनामपितत्फलं हि ।विवाहकालात्परतः प्रवीणैरसंभवात्तत्पतिषु प्रकल्प्यम् ॥ १ ॥
Good and bad results come from the ripening of deeds done in past births. This holds for women too. Some results cannot apply to a woman herself. After the time of marriage, the skilled should apply those results to her husband.

Simple meaning: Old teachers told women's results from the rising sign and the Moon. The author tells them the same way.
Verse 9.3 reads fortune in marriage from the 7th house. Verses 9.8, 9.12 and 9.15 give results of Venus, the Moon and Jupiter there.
Yes. Verse 9.49 says the 7th lord in the 7th house, or a good planet there, ends the fault of a girl's difficult birth combination at once.
Verse 9.50 says the rising sign and the Moon should be checked at the time of marriage too, since results for women depend on them.
