Biodata for marriage
A biodata for marriage is a short document that introduces you and your family: your details, education, work and a photo. Here is what to include, what to leave out, and how to make a clean one in a few minutes.
What is a biodata for marriage?
In India, families often exchange a biodata before a first meeting. It is shorter than a resume and focuses on personal and family details, so the other family can decide whether to take things further.
Most biodatas fit on one page. A second page is useful only when you have a long career history, or want to add horoscope and partner preferences.
What to include in a marriage biodata
Add a recent, clear photo. Horoscope details (birth time, place, rashi, gotra) and what you look for in a partner are optional and depend on your family.

Biodata for a boy and for a girl
The sections are the same for both. The difference is usually emphasis: a boy's biodata gives more space to education, job and income type, while a girl's often adds hobbies and interests. Use a format made for bride or groom and the layout takes care of the rest.
