It is a verified fact established through various sustained researches conducted in this behalf astrologically including the present one, that Rahu in the 7th house of a birth chart, is at all not always disastrous for the marriage and the marital situations and should not be taken very seriously in this regard. Various classic books of astrology deliberate and speak as follows about the placement of Rahu in the 7th house and these are mentioned as under:-
1:- According to Phaladeepika (Mantreshwara), Rahu in the 7th house at birth makes a person independent, but without intelligence. He squanders his money by associating with women. He/ will become a widower and also impotent.
2:- According to Brihat Prasara Hora Sastra, Rahu and Ketu predominantly give the effects as per their association with a house lord or as per the house they occupy.
3:- According to Mansagari, Rahu in the 7th house will give to a person a spendthrift wife but will confer all sorts of pleasures to him. Should Rahu get conjunct with many planets one will have cruel and wicked wife.
4:- Acording to Chamatkar-Chintamani, Rahu in the 7th house from lagna indicates the death of the native due to the infection in the generative organs. It means separation from the relatives and public slander. The native is crazy, deranged, idle, wanderer, short tempered, vicious and quarrelsome. One is hostile to one’s partner.
5:- According to Uttra-Kalamrita, Rahu and Ketu are auspicious when they are in a Kona (1, 5,9) or in a Kendra (I,4,7,10), or when they are aspected or associated with the lord of that kona or Kendra house. They are beneficial also when they are with the lords of any kona or kendra house. It means that the placement of Rahu in the 7th house Viz. a Kendra house is equally auspicious.

These are the general significations about the placement of Rahu in the 7th house as per the classics. These significations can not be taken as the final results as eyes shut postulates, as per their face value, as Rahu and Ketu are shadowy planets and do not have orbits. They are simply the intersection points of the path of earth and the moon. Thus they are magnetic points, always sticking to the qualities of the houses and planets they are conjunct with or the planets related to them. The significations mentioned in the classics are to be taken liberally and not literally.
However it is observed, perceived and visualized after the study of various birth charts where Rahu is placed in the 7th house, as a research study in this behalf, that such a Rahu will behave astrologically as per the conditions of its dispositor which event fully will be the 7th Lord also and that will be the deciding factor in this behalf. It may give in some cases un-orthodox marriages, yet, it further dependents upon other planetary combinations and conditions of the horoscope as a whole.
