Marriage Delay Is the 7th Lord in the 6th, 8th, or 12th

Marriage is delayed when the 7th lord is in the 6th, 8th, or 12th, or when Saturn aspects the 7th, and the delay lasts through the dashas that do not belong to the 7th lord or Venus. Rahu on the 7th delays and unusualizes. A fallen Venus in Virgo weakens the karaka. These can stack. A chart with none of them is not a delayed-marriage chart, even if the wedding feels late by family standards. The 7th house being empty is normal. Emptiness is not delay. The lord's house is the delay. If the 7th lord is in the 10th, marriage may wait on a career chapter, which is a different reason from Saturn's refusal.

If Saturn aspects the 7th, the coherent conduct is patience and a clean Saturn, not a rite to delete him. If Saturn is yogakaraka for Taurus or Libra, the delay is attached to a graha you should not expel. If the 7th lord is in the 12th, the marriage may be distant or private, and the remedy is to allow that shape rather than to force a local date. Strengthening Venus is sensible only when Venus's houses deserve it. For a Capricorn lagna Venus rules the 5th and 10th and is yogakaraka. For a Cancer lagna Venus rules the 4th and 11th. Same gem, different job. No upay moves the antardasha forward. The Moon's nakshatra fixed the sequence.

Delay is not denial. Denial language needs a broken 7th lord and a broken D9, and even then a careful reader does not tell someone they will never marry. Many late charts marry in the 7th lord's mahadasha in the thirties or later. Venus's 20 years are long enough to include a late wedding and a long marriage. If you are in Ketu's 7 years and Ketu is in the 7th, this is a separative chapter. The next lord may be the marriage lord. Read that handoff before you accept a life sentence. Get the birth time right, including the city and daylight saving, so the 7th sign is not an hour off. Then wait for the lord who owns the house.
