I think this a very good question. Someone who is well versed in hindu scripture can throw light on this.

In buddhism their counterpart to moksha( i,.e Nirvana) will definitely not be attained if they are still part of samsaric bond like marriage.

I have another logical doubt , if every marriage is for seven rebirths, how does it work out ? We can never tell confidently that this is our first birth. or after the 7th birth which will allow me to break the original marriage done seven birth; May be we have already married before, we are marrying in every birth and extending the same to never ending cycle, 7th never comes!!

As per Gita, it is the soul that attains moksha and if one partner's soul gets moksha that means the relationship between the two wasnt meant to be for seven lives. The soul which didnt get moksha will continue to be reborn till attaining moksha.

Here the MOKSHA is deliberately omitted by the sages. The reason is the intention of the salvation from the bonds of the life is
dependent on the past karma of the soul. Either husband or wife
depending on the past karma can achieve the salvation at their own pace. In case of Meera Bai it is the wife who achieved the
salvation and in case of Ramanuja or Tukaram it is the Husband who achieved the salvation first. ( from link: http://sanskritdocuments.org/all_sa/marriage1_sa.html)
