What we mean by “marriage biodata format”
In Indian arranged and semi-arranged matchmaking, a marriage biodata is a short document—usually one or two sides of A4—that introduces the candidate. The format is the combination of which blocks appear (personal, family, career, horoscope, expectations) and how they are laid out (traditional card, minimal modern, floral, and so on). Getting the format right means elders can scan for the facts they care about in seconds, while you still look polished when sharing on WhatsApp or email.
VivahBiodata is built around that real-world use: each template is a complete format—you only replace placeholder text. If you are unsure what to write in each block, start with our complete checklist of what to include in a marriage biodata.
Sections to include (checklist)
Use this as a quality bar before you send your biodata to relatives or a matchmaker. You do not need every line on every match—adapt to your community's norms.
Personal
Name, DOB or age, height, location, and a recent photo families can recognise.
Education & career
Degrees, institution, role, employer type, and income band if your family shares it.
Family
Parents’ names and occupations, siblings, and a short line on background or values.
Horoscope (optional)
Gotra, nakshatra, rashi, manglik—include when elders expect it; skip if not relevant.
Partner preferences
A few concrete lines on values and lifestyle—not a long essay—keeps tone respectful.
Contact
Phone or email routed through parents or a mediator, whichever your family prefers.
Example outline (typical one-page flow)
This is not a filled sample with personal data—it is a safe outline you can mirror in any template. Order can shift slightly by community.
- Header: full name and one professional or recent photo.
- Personal: age or DOB, height, religion or community, city, mother tongue.
- Education: highest degree, field, notable achievements if any.
- Career: role, organisation type, location; optional income range.
- Family: parents, siblings, short background line.
- Horoscope: only if applicable—key fields only, not full kundli text.
- Expectations: 3–5 lines on values and practical compatibility.
- Footer: contact routed the way your family prefers.
