Where they are, and what each tradition says
Look at the outer edge of your palm, between the heart line and the base of the little finger. You may see one, two or a few short lines, or none at all.
Indian tradition (Hast Samudrika): Called vivah rekha or sambandh rekha. Because they sit on the Budh parvat, the mount of communication, they are read as bonds built on understanding and conversation.
Western tradition (Cheiro): Cheiro called them lines of union or affection. Modern palmists treat them as deep attachments of any kind, including close friendships.
How to read them calmly
One clear line: Read as a strong, steady bond that matters a lot to you.
Several lines: Read as several meaningful bonds in life: family, friends and partners. It is not a count of marriages.
No clear line: Very common. It says nothing about whether or when anyone marries.
