Today's topic is love marriage. Let's lay down the rules first. Then we will analyse a few horoscopes.
The fifth house is the most crucial house when it comes to love and romance. This house signifies love and passionate attraction. On the other hand, long term serious relationship and marriage are indicated by the 7th house. Thus, a strong connection between 5th and 7th house means love marriage. Obviously, the ascendant lord has to be connected with the 5th house, which will give the desire to love. The eleventh house indicates fulfilment of desire. It has to be also connected. However, the primary connection between 5th and 7th houses has to be formed in a favourable house. For example, if this connection forms in 5th, 7th, 1st or 11th house, that is good. As 3rd house is the 11th from 5th, a connection of 3rd house also indicates success in the love affair. If the 2nd house is involved, that means native's family will accept the relation.
Now let me tell you about the effects of planets. If the 7th house is occupied by emotional planets such as Moon and Venus, that is also very conducive of having a love marriage. Influence of Rahu in 7th house increases the desire to experience relationships. The native will actively seek for love. Venus is the karaka of love. A strong Venus and Mars connection is the recipe for love at first sight. I must mention that the attraction, native feels, is purely physical in this case. However, whether the passion lasts for long, that's a separate question. Jupiter respects social norms and would like to have a socially acceptable love affair.
Now let's talk about the negative sides. If the 5th house or the 5th and 7th combination gets connected with 6th, 8th or 12th house that means complications. It may lead to an unsuccessful love affair. When 5th lord gets connected to 6th, 8th or 12th love affair brings trouble.
Now let's move on to planetary influences. Sun is not really a helpful planet regarding love and romance. If Sun influences 5th house or 5th lord, native's ego or attitude creates a roadblock in love and romance. Saturn is also not very helpful in romantic pursuit. It makes the native a bit conservative. Also, Saturn's influence creates a strange behaviour. Native has a tendency of sacrificing his love. If Venus is highly afflicted, weak or poorly placed, it indicates heartbreak. Placement of Ketu or Saturn in 5th house is not a combination of a happy love affair. Ketu's involvement creates tremendous complications in a love affair. If Venus is afflicted by Ketu, native has to be careful about girls. If Rahu is placed in the second house, native lacks the tenacity to be in a relationship.
Now it is time to analyse charts and see these rules in action.

Now it is time to analyse charts and see these rules in action.
Chart 1:
The 7th lord Moon and the 5th lord Venus are exchanging aspects, thus forming a first-class planetary connection. Rahu is aspecting both 7th and 11th houses. The ascendant lord Saturn is also aspected by Rahu. Saturn is also the 2nd lord. Native married a foreigner, and his family accepted the marriage.

Chart 2:
It is another example of successful love marriage. The 7th lord Jupiter and 5th lord Saturn are exchanging aspects. Here also Rahu is aspecting the 7th house increasing native's desire of having relationships. The 2nd house is also involved in the combination as Rahu is aspecting the 2nd lord Venus placed in the 2nd house.
This girl married a guy from a different state, and her family accepted it.

Chart 3:
This last chart is a testimony of an unsuccessful love affair. The first thing to notice is the condition of Venus. Venus is heavily afflicted by Ketu and placed in the 8th house. The 8th house and Ketu both indicate complications. However, also notice a strong house exchange relation between Venus and Mars. Thus native will definitely fall for someone. But things won't go down well. Also, pay attention to the fact that 5th and 7th houses are not well connected. Only a weak nakshatra connection is there where the 5th lord Sun is under the nakshatra of Venus.
