Short answer
The core question, answered
The marriage line sits on the outer edge of the palm, on the pad below the little finger, in the space between the base of that finger and the heart line. Look at the side of your hand with the palm open: the short horizontal marks that reach in from the edge are the marriage lines (vivah rekha, sometimes called shadi rekha).
Traditionally, a clear, unbroken line is read as a steady commitment, and its height between the finger and the heart line is linked to when in life it matters: closer to the heart line is read as earlier, closer to the finger as later. Faint lines are usually read as lighter attachments. Most modern palmists treat these lines as marks of significant relationships, not as a count of marriages.
The method
How the palmistry chat reads relationships
The palmistry chat reads a photo of your right palm. Relationship questions are answered mainly through your heart line, together with the rest of the palm.
01
Sign in and open the palmistry chat.
02
Upload a clear photo of your right palm.
Taken in bright light with the fingers straight.
03
The photo is checked to make sure the heart and head lines can be traced.
04
Tell the AI astrologer your age and gender.
05
Ask about love, marriage or commitment.
The reading draws on your heart line, your other lines and your mounts, and places events by your age and your fate line.
The AI reads the photo directly. Marriage lines on the palm's edge are part of the tradition described on this page; the chat's relationship reading is built around your heart line.

In this guide
The heart line and the marriage line together
Where the heart line ends
Traditionally, a line that ends under the index finger is read as an idealistic, high-standards style of loving; one that ends between the index and middle fingers as balanced and loyal; one that stops under the middle finger as more self-focused. These are tendencies, not verdicts.
Forks and chains
A fork at the end is often read as the ability to hold two views of a relationship at once. A chained line is read as a sensitive, changeable emotional life.
Several marriage lines
Traditions differ on this. Many palmists read more than one line as more than one significant bond in life, not as a count of weddings, and the deepest, longest line as the one that matters most.
Love marriage or arranged marriage
You will find articles claiming a special sign for love marriage. Palmistry has folk traditions about this, but they are not consistent between schools, so treat any single mark with caution and read it in the context of the whole palm.
Lines that appear or fade
Palm lines can shift over the years, so a reading reflects your hand as it is now.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where exactly is the marriage line?
On the outer edge of the palm, below the little finger, between the base of the finger and the heart line.
Do more lines mean more marriages?
Not in most modern readings. They are usually read as significant relationships, and the clearest line carries the most weight.
Can my palm tell me when I will marry?
The palmistry chat places events in your life by your age and the position of your fate line, but a reading points to themes and periods, not a guaranteed date.
Which hand do I use?
The palmistry chat asks for a photo of your right palm.
Do I need my partner's details?
No. You give a palm photo, your age and your gender, and you sign in to start.
