What a marriage biodata should include
Start with a blessing line and your full name, followed by personal details: date of birth, height, religion, caste or community, mother tongue and marital status.
Add education and career next: your highest qualification, college, occupation, employer, work location and, if you wish, annual income.
Family details matter a great deal to most families. Mention your parents, their occupations, brothers and sisters, family type and native place.
Many Hindu families also add birth time, birth place, rashi, nakshatra, gotra and manglik status. Finish with partner expectations and contact details.
Tips for a biodata that reads well
Keep it to one page where you can, and two at most. Leave out anything you are not comfortable sharing; every field in ShubhPatra is optional except the name.
Use a recent, clear photograph with a plain background. Check spellings of names and places, and ask a family member to read it once before you share it.
