Marriage Biodata Guide
Marriage Biodata for Male — Groom Biodata Format
A marriage biodata for a boy uses the standard one-page, six-section format — personal details, horoscope if your family uses it, education and career, family, contact and partner preference. The other family reads two parts most closely: career (role, company type, city, years) and family. State income plainly or leave it out, and add one honest line on where he lives.
Same six sections as every marriage biodata; for a groom the scrutiny lands on career and family. The other family will re-read two lines: what he does, and what his parents do.
What to do differently
- Career with trajectory. "Senior engineer at a product company, Pune — 6 years" reads better than a title alone. If self-employed, name the business plainly; "family business" with no noun invites the wrong assumptions.
- Income: state it or skip it. A plain figure ("₹28 LPA") or nothing. Inflated numbers surface at the worst possible time.
- Living situation. Own flat, renting, living with parents — one honest line here prevents the most common third-meeting surprise.
- Habits. If the answer to drinking/smoking is one the other family will like, say it ("non-smoker, occasional social drink"). If it's complicated, the biodata is not the place to negotiate it.
What to write in each section of a boy's biodata
| Section | Write | Leave out |
|---|---|---|
| Personal | Name, date of birth with age, height, religion/community, diet, habits if they help | Weight, "fair", "smart" |
| About me | One or two concrete facts — a sport, a skill, how he spends weekends | "Simple, honest, family-oriented" |
| Education & career | Degree and institute, role, company type, city, years; income as one figure | Salary ranges, every certificate |
| Living | Own flat / renting / with parents, and the city | Property lists and valuations |
| Family | Parents' names and work, siblings and where they are settled, native place | Relatives' job titles beyond parents and siblings |
| Partner preference | Two lines, including where you expect to live | A checklist of height, complexion and salary |
"About me" lines for a boy's biodata
One specific line does more than a paragraph. Pick the one that is true and make it exact:
- "Plays cricket every Sunday with a club team; follows Test cricket closely."
- "Cooks for himself most weekdays; learning regional dishes from his mother."
- "Treks in the Sahyadris twice a year; has done Kalsubai and Harishchandragad."
- "Teaches maths to two school students on weekends."

Frequently asked questions
What should a groom's biodata include?
The standard six sections, with career stated concretely (role, company type, city, years) and income either given plainly or omitted. One line on living situation saves everyone a wasted meeting.
Should a groom's biodata mention property?
Only briefly and only if true — 'own flat in Baner' is one useful fact. A paragraph about assets reads as compensating, and every claim will be checked by the other family anyway.
Should a boy's biodata mention income?
Most families expect it. Write the annual figure plainly (₹18 LPA) or leave it out entirely — ranges and words like 'handsome package' read as evasive, and the number will come up on the first call anyway.
