Mars is a hostile planet and is considered inauspicious. According to Vedic astrology the negative impact of Mars is typically observed in marriage and life post marriage. The Manglik dosha, which is popularly known as 'Mangli', is very inauspicious because an afflicted native may remain unmarried throughout his life. Naturally there is a general fear amongst people about the Manglik dosha and negative results of this planet on their life, which especially affects marriage.
