How to write a matrimony biodata
A marriage biodata is a short introduction you can share with a potential match or their family. Start with one page that explains who you are, what matters to you and what you hope to build together.
What to include
- Give your first name, age, general location and the languages you speak.
- Describe your education and line of work in a sentence. Add an interest that gives someone an easy way to start a conversation.
- Say where you hope to live after marriage and whether you are open to relocating.
- Explain how you would like families to be involved and which cultural or religious practices matter in your daily life.
Example for a UK-based Tamil match
Use this fictional example as a starting point and replace the details with your own.
About me. I’m Kavya, 31, based in Greater London. I speak Tamil and English and work in education. Most weekends I’m cooking with family or walking with friends.
What I’m looking for. I’d like to meet someone who wants to build a life in the UK and enjoys staying close to family. I’m open to living outside London if we can both keep doing work we enjoy.
Introductions. I’d prefer an initial conversation between us, then a family introduction if we both feel comfortable.
Share a shorter version first
Leave your street address, full date of birth, documents and private phone number out of the first copy. If horoscope matching matters to both of you, agree privately on which birth details to share. If a relative prepares the biodata, ask the person it describes to review it and approve who receives it.
