How to Write a Marriage Biodata (Step-by-Step, with Free Templates)

A marriage biodata is the one-page summary families exchange when considering a match. In Bangladesh it is often the very first impression you make, so it is worth getting right. This guide walks you through every section.

What a marriage biodata should include

A good biodata is honest, clear and easy to read. Include these sections in order:

• Personal details: name, date of birth, height, blood group, marital status
• Religion and practice: your madhab, whether you pray, and any preferences
• Education: your highest degrees and institutions
• Profession: your job title, organisation and (optionally) income range
• Family details: parents' occupations, siblings, family background
• Partner expectations: what you are looking for, written kindly
• Contact: how a family can reach yours

What to leave out

Avoid exaggeration — families verify, and a false claim ends trust immediately. Do not overshare private information like your full address or national ID number on a document you send widely. Keep expectations reasonable and respectful; a long list of demands puts people off.

How to write the 'About Me' section

Write three or four honest sentences about your values, your routine and what matters to you in a home. Simple and sincere beats flowery language. For example: "I am a practising Muslim who prays regularly and values a calm, respectful family life."

Photo tips

Use a recent, clear photo with modest, tidy clothing and a plain background. One good face photo is enough. Never use heavily edited pictures — the meeting will reveal the truth anyway.
