The marriage biodata format families expect

1. Personal details

   Full name, date of birth, time and place of birth, height, marital status, religion and community. Complexion and blood group only if your family usually includes them.

2. Horoscope (if your family follows it)

   Rashi, nakshatra, gotra, gan, nadi, charan, manglik status and kuldaivat. If it does not apply, leave the whole section out — the biodata is complete without it.

3. Education and career

   Highest degree and college, occupation, employer and city. Annual income is optional; many families write a range or leave it for the conversation.

4. Family

   Father’s and mother’s names and occupations, brothers and sisters (married or unmarried), family type, native place and current city.

5. Partner preferences

   A short, courteous line or two: education, location, age range, and anything that truly matters to you.

6. Contact

   One family contact person with a mobile number, and the city or area. A full street address can wait for the first call.

Good to know

• Keep it to one page — families print it and forward it on WhatsApp.
• Use a recent, well-lit photo with a plain background. A biodata without a photo is perfectly fine too.
• Write names the way your family writes them. Type in English and WowBiodata spells them in Marathi, Hindi, Gujarati, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Bengali or Urdu.
• Leave out anything you would not want forwarded: ID numbers, salary slips, a full street address.
