The classical delay factors: Saturn aspecting or occupying the 7th house or influencing its lord (the single most common — maturity-first partnership); a weak or combust Venus; the 7th lord in the 6th, 8th or 12th (obstacle houses); and malefics flanking the 7th. Each has a time-shape: Saturn delays resolve as its dasha/transit matures, obstacle-house placements activate when their dasha passes, and combust Venus matters most in Venus periods.
The useful question is not "why is it delayed" but "when does the delaying factor expire". Map the Saturn transit and the current dasha against the marriage-significant periods: in most delay charts, a clean window exists within a few years — it is simply later than the family expected. That reframe, plus the remedies tradition attaches to Saturn and Venus, is the honest response to delay anxiety.
