No-Marriage Yogas Need the Navamsa Too
The stricter indication people mean by no marriage is the 7th lord placed in the 6th, 8th, or 12th in the birth chart and again in the Navamsa, with Venus afflicted. One of those charts, without the other, is not the full indication.

Both charts, or it is only a strain
The birth 7th lord in a dusthana delays, costs, or complicates marriage. The Navamsa 7th lord in a dusthana says the vow itself is hard to form or hard to keep. Texts and practitioners who speak of denial want both. Venus combust, debilitated in Virgo, or in the 6th, 8th, or 12th adds the karaka's vote. Miss any one of the three and you have a difficult 7th, which is common, not a life without a spouse. Birth time has to be good enough for D9. A wrong lagna invents the indication.
Dual signs and a second union are a different fear
A 7th lord in Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, or Pisces is cited for more than one marriage, which is the opposite headline. Do not file it under denial. Saturn's aspect on the 7th is filed under delay. Rahu in the 7th is filed under an unusual marriage. The denial file is the doubled dusthana condition plus a hurt Venus. Even inside that file, a late 7th-lord antardasha can still bring a bond the earlier decades did not have. The indication is a weight. The dasha is the test.
How to speak about it
Say which house the 7th lord occupies in each chart. Say Venus's sign. Say whether the current bhukti is the 7th lord or a 12th lord. Then stop. A guna score from a match that never happened cannot prove absence. Another person's choice is not in this kundli. If the question is fear, the useful fact is often that only one of the two charts is damaged, so the word denial does not apply.
Frequently asked questions
What is the stricter combination?
The 7th lord in the 6th, 8th, or 12th in both rashi and Navamsa, with Venus afflicted. Missing the Navamsa half leaves a delay or a strain.
Does a dual sign on the 7th mean no marriage?
No. Dual signs are cited for more than one bond or a changeable one. That is a different indication.
Can a late dasha still marry the person?
It can open the 7th house late. The indication is a weight on the house, not a date on which marriage becomes impossible.
