Horoscope matching was not at all a priority in jyothisham (which is an important supplement to Vedas).
The six elements that complement Vedas are shiksha kalpam jyothisham niruktham chandas and vyakaranam.
Jyothisham primarily intends to fix the Vedic calendar fixing dates for various rituals and functions, to fix the time of birth etc., and to locate movements of planets and their vagaries resulting in eclipses and such astronomical epochs.
No one really wanted it to act as a matchmaker.
Some people with penchant for statistics just observed that planetary placements and the incidents in life often had some common denominators and thus was born astrology as a child of astronomy.
In the strict sense, it has no scriptural backing as a factor in marriage compatibility.
Comparing horoscope is only a rather sophisticated superstition.
Marriage compatibility in Vedic life had no nexus with comparison of janmakundali.
