Marriage Biodata Basics

Start here if you are making a marriage biodata for the first time: what it is, what goes in it, how long it should be, and how to make one on a phone.

These guides explain how to write a marriage biodata from the first line to the last. They are written for parents who are making one for a son or daughter, often on a phone, and often for the first time.

You will find what each section should hold and the order of the sections. They also cover how to write the time of birth, the star and the job title, and what to leave out. Where our own form is mentioned, we use its exact field names, such as Native Place or Chevvai / Manglik, so you can match the guide to the screen.

Start with the guide to making a biodata in seven steps. Then read the posts on formats and wording as the questions come up.
