Marriage biodata format: what to include, what to leave out
A clean, honest marriage biodata in one page. The sections that matter, a simple format, and the private details you shouldn't share in the first version.
By 36gud Editorial · · 1 min read
A biodata is often the first thing another family sees. The best ones are short, honest and easy to scan: one page if possible.
A simple format
- Photo: recent, clear, natural light. One is enough.
- Basics: name, age, height, current city, marital status.
- Education & work: highest qualification, occupation, employer if you're comfortable.
- About me: three or four lines in your own words. Hobbies, values, what a normal weekend looks like.
- Family: parents' occupations, siblings, family type. Keep it to a few lines.
- Looking for: what matters to you in a partner. Be specific but kind.
- Kundli details: rashi and nakshatra, if your family uses them.
What to leave out of the first version
A biodata gets forwarded, often far beyond the people you sent it to. A PDF can't be recalled. For the version you share widely, consider leaving out:
- Phone number and home address: share these directly once there's genuine interest.
- Exact birth time and date: your age is enough at first; exact details can follow for matching.
- Income figures: a range or "on request" is common.
Our biodata maker turns contact details and exact birth details off by default, so you add them deliberately.
Hindi or English?
Either is fine: use what the other family reads most comfortably. You can set biodata headings in Hindi and still write details in English, or the reverse. We never auto-translate what you type.
