Four Marriage Biodata Samples You Can Work From
VivahAI Editorial · 11 August 2026 · 7 min read
Advice is easier to follow when you can see the finished thing. Here are four complete biodata, each written for a different situation, with a short note on what each is doing that the others are not.
1. Traditional, with horoscope details
For families who match on gotra and nakshatra. Note that the birth time is given to the minute — an hour of error changes the chart, so a guess is worse than an honest "not known".
Date of Birth: 9 November 1996 (Age 29) Time of Birth: 5:14 AM Place of Birth: Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu Height: 5'2" (157 cm) Religion / Community: Hindu, Iyengar Gotra: Kaushika Rashi / Nakshatra: Kumbha / Sathayam, 2nd pada Education: M.Sc. Mathematics, Stella Maris College Occupation: Lecturer, Chennai Father: V. Venkatesan, retired LIC officer Mother: Rukmini Venkatesan, homemaker Native Place: Thanjavur Contact: Father — +91 98xxx xxxxx
2. Modern, no horoscope
The same structure with the horoscope block removed entirely rather than left empty, and About Me doing the work the astrology block would have done.
Date of Birth: 21 January 1994 (Age 32) Height: 5'11" (180 cm) Community: Hindu, Nair Mother Tongue: Malayalam City: Bengaluru Education: B.Arch, NIT Calicut Occupation: Architect, own practice, Bengaluru (4 years) About Me: I design small houses, which is harder than it sounds and pays worse than it should. I cycle to work, I read history I don't retain, and I am the person in my family who remembers birthdays. Looking for someone who wants a quiet life with a lot of talking in it. Father: Menon P.K., retired PWD engineer Mother: Sarala Menon, retired teacher Siblings: One elder sister, married, in Dubai Contact: Self — +91 98xxx xxxxx
3. A second marriage
Stated in one line, in the personal block, as a fact among other facts. No explanation, no apology — the explanation belongs in a conversation, and a family that would mind will mind either way.
Date of Birth: 17 May 1990 (Age 36) Height: 5'5" (165 cm) Marital Status: Divorced (2022), no children Community: Hindu, Agarwal City: Delhi Education: CA, ICAI Occupation: Finance Manager, Gurugram (11 years) About Me: I have been an accountant long enough to find spreadsheets restful. I swim four mornings a week and I have opinions about Delhi's winter. I would like to meet someone straightforward, who is as interested in a second chance as I am. Father: Late Shri O.P. Agarwal Mother: Sushma Agarwal, homemaker Contact: Self — +91 98xxx xxxxx
4. Still studying
When there is no career section yet, say what is being studied and when it finishes. Vagueness here reads as evasion, and the actual answer is perfectly ordinary.
Date of Birth: 8 December 2000 (Age 25)
Height: 5'9" (175 cm)
Religion / Community: Sikh, Jat Sikh
Mother Tongue: Punjabi
