A Bengali marriage biodata for a girl, the patrir biodata, has the same four parts as a boy's: personal details, kushti details, family and contact. The boy's family usually reads her education and work first, then the kushti rows, then the family. Most of them also want to know one thing early: will she continue her job after the wedding?
Below is a filled sample for a Hindu girl, followed by the changes for a Muslim family. The people and numbers are made up.

About Me: "I teach English at a school in Howrah and want to keep teaching after marriage. I learnt Rabindra Sangeet for eight years and still sing at the para function every Durga Puja."
The rashi, nakshatra and gan are only examples, not worked out from the date shown. Rohini sits in Brisha rashi and its gan is Nara, so the three rows agree. Take your own from the kushti.
What the Sample Leaves Out, and Why
No income row. Many Bengali families do not show a girl's income on the first biodata. If you add it, write the yearly figure in lakh.
No complexion row. It is optional, and a word like "fair" puts many families off today.
No personal phone number. The father is the contact. The first talk usually happens between the elders, and the girl's own number is shared once both sides want to meet.
No full address. "Behala, Kolkata" is enough for a biodata that may pass through a ghatak (matchmaker), relatives and a few WhatsApp groups.
The Title Patrir Biodata
Our Bengali title list has four ready titles: Biyer Biodata, Bibaher Biodata, Biodata and Patrer Biodata. The last one means "the groom's biodata", so it suits a boy only.
For a girl, choose Write My Own under the title and type পাত্রীর বায়োডাটা (Patrir Biodata). Or keep the plain Biyer Biodata, which works for both.
Work After Marriage, in One Line
A boy's family will ask this on the first call. One sentence in About Me settles it. Some lines Bengali families use:
- "I want to continue my job after marriage."
- "Preparing for the WBSSC exam. Would like a family that supports this."
- "M.Sc. final year. Plan to do a PhD."
- "At home after B.Com. Open to working later."
Keep About Me to three or four sentences. A long paragraph pushes the biodata to a second page, and it rarely gets read to the end.
The Version for a Muslim Girl
For a Muslim family, three things change.
- Choose Muslim as the religion. The horoscope section turns off by itself, so no rashi, nakshatra or time of birth rows print.
- Pick a Bismillah line at the top. On a Bengali biodata it is offered in Bengali script, in Arabic, and in English letters.
- Add the Sect chip under Add More Details if the family wants it.
Some families add lines about namaz or parda with Add Your Own Field. Write only what the girl and her family are happy to share at this stage. Many families keep these for the first meeting.
For a deceased parent, Hindu families write "Late" or Swargiya before the name, and Muslim families write Marhum or Marhuma. Our page on a Muslim marriage biodata in Bengali has a full Muslim sample.
The Photo
One photo goes on the biodata, and it is optional. If you add one, choose a recent photo in daylight against a plain wall, in a saree or salwar kameez or whatever she wears to work. Skip heavy filters. The family that comes to meet her should recognise her at once.
Some families send the first biodata without a photo and share it only with families who show interest. That is fine too.
Making It in Our Maker
Open the biodata maker, choose Female under "This Biodata Is For" and type her full name. Verify the mobile number with the OTP and pick Bengali as the language. Labels print in Bengali script.
You get an A4 PDF and a JPG image, and the next screen offers a free Word file (.docx) of the same biodata for Microsoft Word. A free download has a small "Made free at hellobiodata.com" line, which Biodata Plus at ₹29 removes. When you are ready, you can make a Bengali biodata here.
The boy's version is in our Bengali biodata format for a boy. For English samples, see our biodata for a girl page.
Common questions
Should a Girl's Biodata Show Income?
It is optional. Many families leave it out of the first copy and share it on the phone.
What Title Should a Girl's Bengali Biodata Have?
Biyer Biodata works for anyone. For Patrir Biodata, type it with Write My Own, because the ready list has only Patrer Biodata.
Is a Photo Needed?
No, it is optional. A biodata with a photo usually gets replies faster.
Should I Write Gan on a Girl's Biodata?
Many Bengali Hindu families do, because it is checked during kushti matching. Add it with Add Your Own Field and copy it from the kushti.
Whose Number Should Go on It?
The father's or mother's. The girl's own number is usually shared later.
