There are 5 natural malefic planets viz. Mars, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu and Sun in the decreasing order of their malefic intensity. Moon and Mercury are conditional malefics and their intensity is still lower than Sun.

The presence of any malefic planet in house 1, 2, 4, 7, 8 and 12 shall adversely affect their significations and consequently the marital life but since Mars is the most malefic planet, its affect will be the most adverse.

If we take into consideration all the six houses i.e 1,2,4,7,8 and 12th, then going by the law of averages, 50% of the population is Manglik. In North India, 2nd house is not considered for Manglik Dosha, so only 5 houses are involved. These 5 houses indicate that on an average 42% population is Manglik.

Thus a large number of people are affected by Manglik dosha and it is worth while to find out the actual truth about this dreaded Dosha in the horoscope.
