Daivajna Vallabha · Chapter 12
विवाहविचाराध्यायः
This chapter is a prashna for marriage, read from the question chart. The Moon in certain houses, seen by good planets, may bring a marriage.
A good planet in the 7th house shows a good wife. Saturn's sign matters too. Bad planets may bring delay or obstacles. Strong Venus on the rising sign helps.
The English below is our translation from the Sanskrit.
