Shaadi Biodata Format for Marriage

A complete example you can copy, and what families actually look for

A marriage biodata is one page that a family reads in about thirty seconds before deciding whether to take the conversation further. It is not a resume. Nobody is grading your achievements — they are checking whether the basics fit, and whether the page feels honest.

What a biodata must contain

Section	What goes in it
Personal details	Name, date of birth, time and place of birth (if kundli matching matters to your family), height, complexion if you wish, marital status, mother tongue
Religion & community	Religion, caste or community, gotra, rashi and nakshatra where relevant
Education	Highest qualification first, with the institution. One or two lines is enough.
Occupation	Job title, organisation, and city. Income is optional — include it only if your family expects it.
Family background	Father's and mother's occupation, siblings and their status (married / studying / working), native place
Partner preferences	Two or three genuine expectations. Not a checklist.
Contact	One phone number — usually a parent's or a sibling's

Six mistakes that get a biodata ignored

Writing it like a job resume. Skills, projects and internships do not belong here. Keep it to who you are and where you come from.
A partner-preference list of ten conditions. It reads as difficult. Two or three genuine ones land far better.
Leaving out family details. For most families this is the section they read first. Include both parents and all siblings.
Overstating anything. Height, income and job title all get verified in the very first conversation. Whatever is true is enough.
Spilling to two pages. One page. It gets forwarded on WhatsApp — long files do not get read.
A blurry, cropped photo. One clear, well-lit photo taken straight on.

Hindi or English?

Write it in the language the receiving family reads comfortably. For most families in North and Central India, Hindi feels warmer and gets read more carefully. If the match is being explored through a metro-based relative or a matrimonial site, English is safer. If you are unsure, Hindi with English for the education and job lines is a common and perfectly acceptable middle ground.
