Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya nama:
Dear Sriman Nagaraj,

              Humble praNAms to you. It's great to hear about your 
samAShrayaNam. As far as I know(which I cross checked with my Great 
AcAryA Sri Chinna Jeeyar),it shouldn't be a problem except that 
women should not get it done during their monthly cycles nor 
should they perform any thiru ArAdhanam on those days. samAShrayaNam 
is nothing to do with marriage also nor with husband! 
This is between the jIvAtmA, AcAryA and the God! I was of this 
opinion but then couple of devotees raised doubts in me before I had 
mine, so I specifically asked my AcAryA. My AcAryA told me that the 
only criterion for a woman is that she should have attained her 
womanhood before samAShrayaNam is being done. 

In the olden days, females used to get married even 
before their cycles started and hence they had their samAShrayaNam 
after marriage and esp., after they attained the age. If there were 
conditions for pregnant women, my AcAryA would have told me! To be 
on the safe isde, I will ask my AcAryA and let you know. Basically 
samAShrayaNam means sam(through)+ AShrayaNam(refuge/sharaNAgati). 
We're doing this sharaNAgati through an AcAryA(as AcAryA is the 
doorstep to the Lord). 

One can easily get husband,wife etc but one has to be blessed(not by 
his/her self-efforts but by His grace) to get an AcAryA from Ramanuja 
Sampradaya. 
May be you should ask your AcAryA himself before undergoing samAShrayaNam. 
All true AcAryAs will not mind a person asking any genuine question/ 
doubt and they will transfer the right knowledge only! Any errors 
are subject to correction.
