A marriage biodata is a one-page profile that introduces a person to a potential partner and their family. A good biodata includes a clear photo, personal details, education, profession, family background, lifestyle and partner expectations, written honestly and respectfully. Below is a standard format with a sample, plus a free way to create a polished PDF.
- Keep it to one page and easy to read.
- Use a recent, natural photo with a plain background.
- Be honest: accurate details build trust from the start.
- Share sensitive information (income, address) only when appropriate.

Photo tips for a biodata
- Use natural daylight and a plain wall behind you.
- Wear neat, modest clothing and keep editing filters light.
- Use a head-and-shoulders photo, cropped neatly (try the free Image Cropper).
- Make sure the photo is recent; it should look like you today.
Writing the “About me” section
Two to four honest sentences work best. Mention your personality, values and how you like to spend time. Avoid exaggeration and generic phrases; specific details feel more genuine.
Biodata vs CV: what is the difference?
A CV is for jobs and focuses on experience and skills. A marriage biodata focuses on personal life, family and values. Do not send a job CV as a biodata, or include family details in a job CV. For job applications, read how to write a CV in Bangladesh.
