Is Mangal dosha always serious?

No — it is one factor among many in a compatibility reading, and classical texts list numerous cancellation conditions. A full reading looks at the whole chart, not this factor alone.

Can a manglik marry a non-manglik?

This is a matter for a full compatibility reading rather than a fixed rule — mutual cancellation when both partners carry the dosha is classical, but so are several individual cancellations.

Is Mangal dosha checked only from the ascendant?

No — the classical convention checks it from the ascendant, the Moon, and Venus, and a chart can show it from one reference point and not the others.

Do I have Mangal dosha (Manglik)?

Mangal dosha, or being 'manglik', means Mars occupies the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house counted from the ascendant, Moon, or Venus. Classical texts attach as many cancellation rules to it as conditions — this calculator reports both, since one without the other is an incomplete reading.

The dosha and its cancellations, together

Mangal dosha is a mechanical observation, not a curse: Mars's special aspects on the 4th, 7th and 8th houses mean that from certain positions it lands on the 7th house — marriage. A large share of charts show it from at least one reference point, and a large share of those carry at least one classical cancellation (Mars in its own or exalted sign, aspected by Jupiter, both partners carrying it, and more). This calculator reports the dosha and any cancellations that apply in the same result.
