Marriage Biodata Format: Sections, Order and Tips

The usual marriage biodata format has six parts: personal details, education and career, family details, horoscope details, lifestyle and interests, and contact details, with a photo at the top. This guide explains what to write in each part and how to keep the whole biodata to one or two easy-to-read pages.

1. Photo and introduction

Start with a recent, well-lit photo and, if you like, one or two lines about yourself. Some families also add a short religious symbol or blessing at the top; you can add your own heading or line for it.

2. Personal details

  • Full name
  • Date of birth, and time and place of birth if you include horoscope details
  • Height
  • Religion, caste or community, and sub-caste if relevant
  • Mother tongue
  • Current city
  • Marital status

3. Education and career

  • Highest qualification and the college or university
  • Profession or job title
  • Employer or business
  • Work location
  • Annual income, only if you want to share it

4. Family details

  • Father's name and occupation
  • Mother's name and occupation
  • Brothers and sisters, and whether they are married
  • Family type (joint or nuclear) and family values
  • Native place

5. Horoscope details

Many families match horoscopes before they meet. The usual horoscope details are Rashi (Moon sign), Nakshatra, Lagna (ascendant), Manglik status and gotra. A Lagna kundli chart can be added as a separate page; QuickBiodataMaker draws it in North and South Indian styles from your date, time and place of birth.

6. Lifestyle, interests and partner preferences

A few lines on diet, hobbies and interests help a family picture you. You can also add what you hope for in a partner, kept short and positive.

7. Contact details

Give the name, relationship and phone number or email of the person families should contact. This is often a parent. Add the address only if you are comfortable sharing it.

Formatting tips

  • Keep it to one or two pages, with short lines rather than paragraphs.
  • Use the same format for dates, heights and names throughout.
  • Choose a clean template with readable fonts; avoid busy backgrounds behind text.
  • Proofread every name and number, and ask a family member to check it too.
  • Save it as a PDF so it looks the same on every phone and prints well.
