What is Yoni dosha and does it matter for marriage?

Yoni (worth 4 points) compares the animal symbols of the Nakshatras. Certain animal pairings, like cat-mouse or lion-cow, are considered incompatible and create Yoni dosha.

Each Nakshatra has an animal symbol, such as horse, elephant, snake, or tiger, and Yoni checks the relationship between the two animals.

Friendly animal pairs, like horse-cow or elephant-lion, score full points and indicate physical and emotional compatibility.

Enemy pairings, like cat-mouse, indicate friction, while the dog-rabbit pairing is considered the worst.

Yoni dosha mostly affects intimacy and physical compatibility, so it carries a smaller weight than Nadi or Bhakoot.
