Jataka Tattva · by Mahadeva
Chapter 9 · Marriage: the 7th House
सप्तमविवेकः
जायाकारके पापयुते वा नीचारिमूढांशे द्विभार्यः ।
Say the karaka (the planet that stands for a thing) of the wife is joined by bad planets. Or say it is in a navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign). That navamsha is its nicha (low point) one, an enemy's, or too close to the Sun. Then the person has two wives.
पापाः सप्तमे द्विभार्यः ।
Say bad planets are in the 7th house. Then the person has two wives.
धनगैः पापैर्धनेशादृष्टैः कलत्रत्रयम् ।
Say bad planets are in the 2nd house. The 2nd lord does not aspect them. Then the person has three wives.
पापाः कलत्रे जायेशादृष्टाः कलत्रत्रयम् ।
Say bad planets are in the 7th house. The 7th lord does not aspect them. Then the person has three wives.
