What to write in a marriage biodata

Knowing the format is half the job; the other half is wording each field well. Below is field-by-field guidance with good and weak examples, so your biodata reads as clear, honest, and easy to say yes to.

Good vs weak examples at a glance

The difference is almost always specificity. Vague answers make a reader work; concrete ones build trust.

Field-by-field guidance

Name

Write your full legal name as it appears on official documents. Skip nicknames. Consistent, correct spelling here matters because it will be used in every later conversation and, eventually, on formal papers.

Date of birth (and time, place)

Use a clear, unambiguous format such as 14 August 1997 rather than 14/08/97. If your family does kundli matching, add time and place of birth accurately - these feed directly into the horoscope.

Height

Give an honest figure and include both units if you can: 5′9″ (175 cm). Do not round up. Height is one of the first things checked, and an inflated number is quickly noticed in person.

Education

Name the actual degree, subject, and institution: B.Tech in Computer Science, VIT Velloreis far more informative than “Engineer.” Add the year if it helps. If you are still studying, say so plainly.

Occupation

State your role and employer: Software Engineer at Infosys, Bengaluru. If you run your own business, a short description works - “Runs a family textile business in Surat.” Share income only if your family wants to, and keep it approximate (for example, a yearly range).

Family

Introduce your parents by name and occupation, mention siblings and whether they are married, and note whether yours is a nuclear or joint family. This section signals your background and values, so write it warmly and factually: “Father: Shri Rajesh Sharma, retired bank manager. Mother: Smt. Sunita Sharma, homemaker. One elder sister, married.”

Hobbies and interests

Keep these genuine and specific. “Cricket, weekend trekking, and cooking”tells a story; “TV and movies” tells nothing. Two or three real interests are plenty - this is a nice, human touch, not the main event.

Partner expectations

Be brief, kind, and realistic. Focus on values and compatibility rather than appearance or a long checklist: “Looking for a graduate who values family and enjoys her own career.”A short, warm line here reflects well on you.

Dos

• Be honest and accurate in every field - trust is everything at this stage.
• Be specific. Real details beat generic ones every time.
• Use full, correct spellings and one consistent style for dates and height.
• Keep it to one page so it is easy to read at a glance.
• Add a recent, clear photo and proofread names, dates, and the phone number.

Don’ts

• Do not exaggerate height, income, or job title - it always surfaces later.
• Do not overload the page with every detail; keep it scannable.
• Do not share sensitive data like Aadhaar, bank, or exact salary figures.
• Do not use slang or an overly casual tone.
• Do not leave the contact number wrong or missing - it is the whole point of the page.

Once you know what to write, filling it in takes minutes. BiodataKart gives every field a helpful example as you type, and it is 100% free with no watermark and no login - nothing you enter ever leaves your device.
