Mangal Dosha:

Mangal dosha or kuja dosha is formed in the birth chart or horoscope where Mars is placed in the 1^st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house. These position of Mars need to be studied from Ascendant (Lagna) as well as from Rasi (Moon Lagna). A person with mangal dosh in his natal chart is called Manglik.

Some astrologers do not consider Mars’s position in 2^nd House as Mangal Dosha, but as per my experience, it does have effect.

Should Mangal Dosha be considered only for Marriage and Match – Making purposes?

In majority of the cases, people discuss and seek Mangal Dosha report only at the time of the marriage of boy and girl, which is not a good practice. The fact remains is that Mangal Dosha is formed in the birth chart and effect the person accordingly whole life from the beginning of the life.

So, Mangal Dosha (like any other Dosha) has to be analysed with possible remedies after birth and also necessarily before marriage.

There can be few configurations which cancel the Mangal Dosha in some chart, but this required deep analysis by a good Astrologer.
