Mangal Dosha is probably the most infamous Dosha in Vedic astrology. This comes to the forefront the native considers to get married. This Dosha is caused by the fiery nature of the Planet Mars - when it is present in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house in the native’s horoscope. Mars can become more malefic when placed with other inauspicious planets in these houses.
A native who has this Dosha is termed a ‘Manglik’.
This Dosha is also called ‘Bhom’, ‘Kuja’ or ‘Angarakha’ Dosha. Both males and females can be afflicted by this Dosha. Since Mars is a hot Planet, it represents ‘ego’, ‘high self-esteem’,’arrogance’ and ‘volatile temperament’. It's for this reason that a native with Mangal Dosha will find it difficult to compromise and adjust with a partner.
Mangal Dosha has other effects on the native-like, burdening him with financial losses.

1) When Mars is in the First House-
Since the first house is the ‘House of the Spouse’, when a Manglik gets married to a Non-Manglik, it leads to unnecessary conflicts between the two, many times leading to physical violence. This disrupts normal married life leading to breakups and separation.

When Mars is active and negative in the second house, it damages the marriage and married life of the native, leading to a divorce and a second marriage.
