Arranged marriage yoga refers to combinations where partnership arrives through family and tradition rather than through prior attachment. In practice the line between this and love marriage is much softer than the vocabulary suggests, and most modern Indian marriages sit somewhere between the two.
A connection between the 7th house of marriage and the 9th house — dharma, family tradition, the father — is the usual marker. Jupiter’s involvement with the 7th is read the same way, since Jupiter signifies tradition and elders. Saturn linked to the 7th is associated with marriage arranged with deliberation, often later than peers.
The absence of a strong 5th–7th link is also part of the reading: partnership approached as a considered decision rather than as an attraction acted upon.
Most Indian marriages today are neither purely arranged nor purely love matches. Families introduce, the couple decides, and both sides have a veto. A chart showing both a 5th–7th link and 9th house involvement is entirely ordinary, and it describes exactly that modern middle.
So this is a poor thing to read a chart for. It is far more useful to look at the 7th house and its lord for what partnership itself asks of you, than to sort a marriage into a category that no longer describes how people actually meet.
A connection between the 7th house and the 9th house of tradition and family, Jupiter’s involvement with the 7th, or Saturn linked to the 7th indicating a deliberate and often later marriage.
Yes, and it very commonly does. Most modern Indian marriages involve family introduction followed by the couple’s own choice, and charts reflect that mixture rather than sorting neatly into one category.
