Marriage and Divorce
What is marriage according to astrology? It is better to read BHPS (Brihat
Paraashar Horaa Shaastra) and go through the effects of 7th house that
deals with Vivaah. To be concise find the book Marriage-matching
Astrologically. Pustak Mahal publication. It helps easily to understand
the complexities of marriage.
Marriage is the union of
body and mind. If you had it with the opposite sex, you are married. No
functions or presiding by a priest is necessary. On the contrary divorce
is strictly a legal term. Even after divorce a person could be married
with the same partner. Astrologically divorce has no significance. When
you reach a stage that the union of the body and mind is not there with
your partner for a continued period of time, you are divorced.

Mrityu see also Apa-Mrityu
Mrityu means death. The longevity (Aayur) Yog discussed in astrology
belong to 3 categories.
1. Sadyo Mrityu Yog (Sadyo-arisht yog) - they indicate sudden death of the
child immediately after birth - i.e. within an year of birth.
2. Arisht Yog - they indicate death of the child within 8 years of age.
3. Alpaayu Yog - they indicate death of the native within 32 years of age.
If these 3 kinds of Yog are not present in the horoscope that means the
native will have a comfortably long life that might range from 32 to 120
years of age. At least a near to maximum expected longevity can only be
calculated using Paramaayur Nirnaya methods. Death happening after the
completion of full longevity as indicated by the chart; i.e. death on
time. (Kaal-Mrityu)
So A-Kaal Mrityu =
Untimely death; Apa-Mrityu = accidental death (not-natural
death), thus untimely death also; Kaal Mrityu = timely death
It is said that there are 101 Apa Mrityu in human body (i.e. death can
happen at any time due to accident etc), but there is only one Kaal-Mrityu.
There is a also a saying - Nothing can be done when Kaal-Mrityu approaches!
