Ketu in the 7th house in Lal Kitab
Ketu in the house of marriage: a partnership that needs warmth and words, kept by keeping promises.
MixedWhat Lal Kitab says
The 7th house belongs to Venus, Ketu's friend, and Mercury, which it treats as neutral, yet Lal Kitab reads Ketu here as mixed, because Ketu detaches and the 7th wants closeness. The partner may seem distant at times, or travel may separate the couple. The book asks the person to keep promises and to make an effort to stay warm.
Why Ketu behaves this way here
The 7th house belongs to Venus (a friend's house) and Mercury (a neutral house), so Ketu is a guest here. Its own house is the 6th.
Its relationship with the owner is neutral: the result depends mostly on what else in the chart it connects to.

What the classical texts add
Ketu in the 7th brings detachment into partnership: an independent streak within committed bonds and a partner or partnership style that feels otherworldly or understated. Relationships thrive here when connection is practised consciously rather than assumed.
Classical consensus (BPHS, Jataka Parijata). This is one of the classical rules HeyKundli's engine checks against every chart.
