A marriage biodata is the first thing everyone asks for when you’re looking for your better half. It gives a rudimentary insight into your personal details to prospects and their family. By comparing your information with that of the prospect’s, families can decide whether both of you make a perfect match.
These days, a marriage biodata is exchanged digitally. You can prepare bio data for marriage online using templates, word processors, or even matrimony platforms like Noble Marriage. This guide will show you how to create biodata for marriage.
What to Include in Biodata for Marriage Proposal?
The first and foremost rule while writing a biodata, whether for a job or marriage, is to be truthful. You should write for the purpose of finding someone who accepts you for who you are, not to impress them.
Muslim Life Partner?
If you’ve never created a marriage biodata before, don’t worry. Here we’ll show you what to include in biodata for marriage:
1. Professional Photo
Whenever someone views your biodata, the first thing they look at is your photo. In that case, your photo has to look neat and professional.
It isn’t a good practice to take selfies and add filters for a photo to be added to a biodata. Therefore, the best you can do is hire a photographer to click a professional photo. They will make you pose in different ways to see which one suits perfectly for the marriage biodata.
When taking photos, make sure not to include your friends. Since it’s your biodata, only your photo will be expected. Besides, make sure to dress modestly and get your hair done. For ladies, it is a good idea to wear minimal makeup as less is more.
Another thing to keep in mind is to avoid wearing hats (women are allowed to wear hijab), sunglasses, colored eye contacts, or face masks during the photo session. Since it’s about marriage, you should let everyone see your head and facial features clearly. Also, you can never go wrong with a smile on your face!
2. Personal Information
The personal information section usually contains the following information about yourself:
- Full Name:
- Age:
- Date of Birth:
- Nationality:
- Religion:
- Blood Group:
- Marital Status:
- Present Address:
- Permanent Address:
- Contact details (email and phone no.):
3. Self-Description
In the self-description section, make sure to write a brief introduction about yourself. Don’t make it too short or too long to be boring. You can describe the type of person you are (extrovert, straightforward, amiable, etc.), your career and academic background, your hobbies, and your values.
Whatever you write in your biodata, make sure to write everything with honesty. Don’t give anyone a false impression about yourself or otherwise, it will make things worse for you in the future.
4. Physical Appearance
Your physical appearance is also an important aspect to be mentioned in the biodata. It gives prospects an idea of what you would look like when they meet you in person. Consider adding the following fields in this section:
- Height:
- Complexion:
- Body Type:
- Eye Color:
- Hair Color:
- Disability (if any):
5. Educational Background
In this section, you will need to add your academic qualifications as below:
- School Name:
- College Name and Passing Year:
- University Name, Degree, and Passing Year:
- If you are currently pursuing further studies then you can mention that as well.
When writing educational background, make sure to write it in reverse chronological order. In other words, your current or most recent qualification should be listed at the top, then comes the previous one, then the one before, and so on.
6. Career
Your career information goes in this section. Like academic qualifications, you’ll need to mention your job details in reverse chronological order.
- Job Title:
- Name of Organization/Company:
- Starting and Ending Date:
(Note: If it’s your current job then write ‘present’ after the starting date. Example- 2016 – present)
7. Family Information
Marriage isn’t only about you and your spouse. When you’re getting married, your and your spouse’s family count as well. In that case, you should mention your family information in your biodata:
- Father’s Name:
- Father’s Occupation:
- Father’s Academic Background:
- Mother’s Name:
- Mother’s Occupation:
- Mother’s Academic Background:
- Sibling’s Name:

(Note: If you have multiple siblings, make sure to organize their information starting from the eldest sibling to the youngest. Also if they’re married, make sure to add their spouse’s name and profession)
8. Partner Preferences and Expectations
Stating your partner preferences and expectations will help prospects know what you’re looking for in a partner. Here’s what you can include:
- Age Range:
- Height Range:
- Education Qualification:
- Occupation:
- Religion:
- Expectations from the Partner:
(Note: In the Expectations from the Partner field, include the qualities you expect from your partner. Example- respectful, open-minded, and compassionate)
