Manglik
A person whose chart places Mars in certain houses — Mangal dosha — traditionally thought to affect marriage.
Someone is Manglik (or Mangalik) when Mars sits in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house of the birth chart, with variations by tradition. The dosha is traditionally believed to bring conflict or worse into a marriage, and many families want a Manglik matched with another Manglik so the doshas cancel.
Whether someone is Manglik needs a full chart with an accurate birth time; the moon sign alone cannot decide it, which is why TrueSaath's checker says "needs a full chart" when that is the honest answer. Remedies, and the "anshik" (partial) reading many astrologers give, mean far fewer marriages are actually blocked by it than the fear suggests.
