Union lines — also called marriage lines — are the horizontal creases on the edge of the palm below the little finger. When two distinct lines appear, one above the other, traditional palmistry has often interpreted them as two marriages or two major partnerships.
A longer, deeper line supposedly represents the more significant union. A gap between the lines suggests time between relationships. A line that splits at the end? Separation or divorce.
The reality is less romantic: union line count has no known correlation with marital history. People with one union line remarry. People with two never marry at all. The lines are anatomical variation, not a relationship ledger.
