A finished sample
Made with the maker itself, with a fictional person and details.
The rows to include
| Row | How to write it |
|---|---|
| Name | Full name: “Rohan Deshmukh”. |
| Date, time, place of birth | “2 August 1994, 11:10 PM, Nagpur”. |
| Height | “5′ 10″”. |
| Education | Degree and college: “B.Tech Mechanical, VNIT Nagpur; MBA, a Pune institute”. |
| Occupation | Title, employer, city: “Senior product manager, a software company, Pune”. |
| Income | Optional, yearly: “₹18 lakh per annum”. |
| Father / mother | Name and occupation of each. |
| Siblings | “One younger sister, studying medicine”. |
| Kundli rows | Optional — see kundli details. |
| Contact | A parent's number and the family's city. |
Diet, languages, hobbies and a line about the family's native place are common extras.
Writing education and work clearly
These two rows carry the most weight, so make them exact. Write the degree as it appears on the certificate, add the college, and keep the job row to title, employer and city. If you run a business, say what it is and where: “Runs a family textile business, Surat (since 2017)”.
Avoid inflated titles or rounded-up salaries. The other family will ask, and a precise, modest line builds more trust than a big one.
About-me lines
I work as an engineer in Pune and play cricket most weekends. Family matters a lot to me, and I am looking for a partner who values honesty and kindness.
He is calm, hard-working and close to his parents. He enjoys trekking, cooking on Sundays and old Hindi songs.
A chartered accountant who likes travel and reading history. Believes in sharing responsibilities equally at home.
What to leave out
- Property lists and car models — one line at most, or none.
- Demands about dowry or gifts in any form.
- Every past job; the current one and the highest degree are enough.
- Phone numbers that nobody answers.
Questions
What should a boy write in his marriage biodata?
Name, birth details, height, education, job with employer and city, family details, optional kundli rows, a short about-me line and a contact number.
Should a boy mention his salary?
Many families do, as a yearly figure (“₹14 lakh per annum”). It is optional; the job title and employer often say enough.
Is a photo needed on a boy's biodata?
It is expected by most families. A recent, well-lit photo in a shirt or kurta works well.
Should I mention owning a house or property?
If you include it, keep it to one plain line such as “Own house in Nagpur”. Many families prefer to discuss it later.
Can I make a biodata for my son or brother?
Yes. Most biodatas are made by parents or siblings. Write the about-me line in his voice or about him.
How long should a boy's biodata be?
A cover and one page of details is ideal. Add a photo page only if you have good photos.
