Marriage Biodata Format
A marriage biodata is the one-page introduction Indian families exchange before a match. Below is the exact format — every section, what goes in it, and a ready sample you can copy. When you’re done reading, fill it into a designer template and download a print-ready PDF in minutes.
What to include, section by section
A good biodata follows the same six sections, in this order. Include what applies to you and leave out the rest — there are no compulsory fields.
- 1
Personal details
- Full name
- Date of birth
- Time & place of birth
- Height
- Complexion
- Blood group
- Marital status
The identity block. Time and place of birth matter for families who match horoscopes (kundli / jathakam).
- 2
Religion & community
- Religion
- Caste / sub-caste
- Gotra
- Mother tongue
- Nationality
Include only what your family shares openly. Gotra is common in Hindu biodatas; skip fields that don’t apply to you.
- 3
Education & career
- Highest qualification
- College / university
- Occupation & designation
- Company
- Annual income
- Work location
Be specific but honest. “Software Engineer at an MNC, Pune” reads better than a vague “Private job”.
- 4
Family background
- Father’s name & occupation
- Mother’s name & occupation
- Siblings (married / unmarried)
- Native place
- Family type & values
Indian families read this section closely — it signals background and values as much as the individual’s details.
- 5
Partner preferences
- Preferred age range
- Education
- Profession
- Location
- Community (if any)
- Other expectations
Keep it warm and realistic. A short, genuine paragraph converts better than a long checklist of demands.
- 6
Contact details
- Contact person (usually a parent)
- Phone / WhatsApp
- City
Share a number the family is comfortable receiving calls on. You can add a privacy lock before sharing widely.

Tips for a biodata that gets replies
- Keep it to one page. Families skim — every extra line dilutes the strong ones.
- Add a recent, well-lit photo with a plain background. It measurably increases responses.
- Be specific and honest about education, work and income. Vague answers raise questions.
- Write partner preferences as a short, warm paragraph — not a long list of demands.
- Match the language to the family reading it. Hindi/Tamil/Telugu/Bengali feel personal.
- Proofread names, dates and phone numbers. A typo in the contact number costs you matches.
Marriage biodata format — FAQ
What is the correct format for a marriage biodata?+
A marriage biodata is usually a one- to two-page document with these sections in order: personal details, religion/community, education and career, family background, partner preferences, and contact details. Start with a short line invoking a blessing (e.g. “|| Shree Ganeshay Namah ||”) if your family prefers, add a clear photo, and keep it to a single page where possible.
What should I include in a marriage biodata?+
Full name, date/time/place of birth, height, complexion, religion, caste and gotra (if applicable), education, occupation and income, father’s and mother’s details, siblings, native place, partner preferences, and a contact number. A recent, well-lit photo is strongly recommended.
How long should a marriage biodata be?+
One page is ideal; two at most. Families skim biodatas, so keep every section tight. Leave out anything you would not want to explain in a first conversation.
Is a photo necessary in a marriage biodata?+
It is not mandatory, but a clear, recent photo greatly increases responses. Use a simple portrait with a plain background and good lighting. biomatri lets you add a photo and positions it neatly in every template.
Can I make a marriage biodata in Hindi or a regional language?+
Yes. biomatri renders biodatas in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Bengali, with the script shaped correctly in a print-ready PDF — something most free Word templates cannot do.
What is the difference between a biodata for a girl and for a boy?+
The format is the same. The wording of the partner-preferences and career sections differs by individual, not by gender. Use the same six sections and fill in your own details.
