Short answer
18 gunas is the minimum acceptable score. With 18, the marriage is acceptable if the Nadi and Bhakoot kootas are not zero and the two 7th houses are healthy.
The detail behind it
Traditional matching uses Ashtakoota gun milan (36 points across eight kootas) plus a Manglik check. A careful astrologer then compares the two full charts, because a high score with a weak 7th house can still be a poor match.
