Manglik (also called Kuja Dosha or Mangal Dosha) is a classical Vedic astrology pattern where Mars (Mangal) sits in one of the houses linked to marriage and partnership. It is one of the most widely checked placements before marriage in Vedic tradition, read as an intensity of Mars energy in the relationship area rather than as a verdict about a person or a marriage.
A person is considered Manglik when Mars occupies the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house counted from any of three references: the Ascendant (Lagna — the sign rising at birth), the Moon (Chandra) or Venus (Shukra). The number of references that flag Mars sets the intensity, from mild to strong. Classical cancellation rules (Kuja Dosha Bhanga) — such as Mars in its own or exalted sign, or an aspect from Jupiter or Venus — can soften or neutralize the effect.
