Today we are in a modern world. Marriages are not made in heaven nowadays but are decided by the boy and the girl themselves. Gone are the days when the parents of the boy and the girl decide on the suitability of the relationship between the boy and the girl and then decide on the unification of them. But it is still considered a sacred occasion by the Hindus at least. Even when a boy and a girl decide to unite themselves in wedlock, majority of them still feel whether their horoscopes are matching or not.
It is always advisable to approach a well-known astrologer before marriage and have his opinion about the adaptability of the boy and the girl.
There are various factors which assume importance while matching horoscopes for the purpose of marriage. I propose to divide them into three groups, first being the so called Kuta Agreement, the second - General study of the charts of the boy and the girl for various sides of life like – Longevity, Financial soundness, Multiple marriages, various Doshas etc., etc. The last part will be the timing of marriage as unless the chart promises proper timing of marriage, there is no point in going ahead with the matching. The first part viz. Kuta agreement is dealt with in this book.
