In our Indian families, marriage has always been seen as a very important step in life. When a child reaches a certain age, especially a daughter, relatives start asking questions. “When is the wedding?” “Any good alliance?” And slowly, the home that once felt peaceful begins to feel heavy.

I have seen this happening many times — in my extended family, among neighbours, and now even among younger friends. A child is good in all ways — educated, kind-hearted, settled in job — but still not getting married. Or the marriage talks begin and then stop suddenly. Parents worry. The child feels helpless. And many times, everyone begins to blame someone or something.

But before we panic, before we get angry or sad, let us stop and understand — there might be deeper reasons for such delays, and helpful ways to deal with them.

Marriage Is Not Just About Matching Horoscopes

Some people say, “It is all luck.” Others say, “Don’t worry, everything will happen at the right time.” While both may be true in some way, our Sanatana Dharma gives us a more balanced view. Our ancient rishis and elders believed that marriage is not just a social bond, but a spiritual journey.

When a marriage doesn’t happen on time, it can be due to various reasons:

• Graha Doshas (planetary influences)
• Pitru Dosha (ancestral issues)
• Mangalik Dosha (strong Mars in horoscope)
• Nadi or Bhakoot mismatch
• Or simply karmic reasons from past lives

Sometimes, there is no visible reason at all. But still, things just don’t move forward.

Instead of blaming the child or falling into sorrow, our elders advised turning toward faith, prayer, and Vedic guidance. Not for fear, but for clarity and peace.

My Cousin’s Story: When Nothing Worked, Faith Did

One of my cousin sisters had everything going for her. A kind girl, well-read, doing good work in a hospital. But her marriage talks kept breaking. Her parents were very dharmic people and tried their best — met astrologers, consulted elders, searched through matrimony websites.

After a point, the girl herself became silent. Her confidence dropped. She didn’t want to meet anyone anymore. That’s when someone suggested performing a Swayamvara Parvati Homa — a powerful prayer based on the tapasya done by Devi Parvati to unite with Bhagwan Shiva.

They booked the homa through JyotirGamaya, an online dharmic platform that arranges such pujas in temples. The puja was done in South India, in a Devi temple, by Vedic priests. After this, slowly, things began to shift. She felt calmer. She became open again. And within a few months, a good proposal came through — and this time, it went through peacefully.

I’m not saying the puja is magic. But when done with shraddha (faith) and sankalpa (clear intention), the blessings come — sometimes from inside, sometimes from the universe.

What Can Parents Do?

As a parent, it is natural to feel pain when your child’s marriage is delayed. But please don’t:

• Blame your child
• Compare them with others
• Panic or lose faith

Instead, take a dharmic approach. Sit calmly. Speak to a proper astrologer or Vedic guide. And consider performing one of the traditional pujas that help remove unseen blocks.

Some helpful ones are:

1. Swayamvara Parvati Homa

This is done to remove obstacles in getting a good life partner. It’s based on the divine love of Devi Parvati and Bhagwan Shiva.

2. Mangalik Dosha Nivaran Puja

If your child’s chart shows Mangal dosha (Mars in 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house), this puja can help calm its effect.

3. Uma Maheshwara Homa

This homa is offered to the divine couple — Shiva and Parvati — and is good for those who’ve had heartbreaks or are emotionally stuck.

4. Pitru Dosh Puja

If ancestors are not at peace, marriage, childbirth, and other life events may face delays. This puja brings blessings from forefathers.

5. Durga Shanti Homa

This puja removes negative energies, jealousy, or external interference which may be silently affecting marriage talks.

Where to Get These Pujas Done?

In earlier days, every family knew a trusted purohit. Today, in cities and overseas, people don’t know where to go. That’s where JyotirGamaya helps.

They arrange authentic, temple-based pujas with proper priests. You share your details — name, gotra, nakshatra — and they take the sankalpa on your behalf. The puja is done sincerely, not in a rush. Afterward, they share photos, video, or a small report as proof.

This is not a business for them. It is a seva, a way to keep Vedic traditions alive and serve families who are suffering quietly.

In Closing

Marriage is important, yes. But don’t let it become a burden. Don’t allow society’s words to break your child’s confidence. And never think it’s too late — because when Bhagwan’s time comes, all doors open.

If your child’s marriage is delayed, take a breath. Take a step towards dharma. And then leave the rest to Ishwara.

Let prayer replace pressure. Let blessings replace worry. That is what our ancestors did, and it still works today — quietly, gently, surely.
