Muslim marriage biodata format

Families looking for a rishta want to know about deen as well as duniya: the sect and maslak, how regularly the person prays, and for girls whether they wear hijab, along with education, work and family background.

Horoscope fields like rashi and gotra are not used in Muslim biodatas. When you choose "Muslim" as the religion, ShaadiPatra hides them and shows sect, maslak, namaz and hijab instead.

What to include

1. Bismillah at the top⁨بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ⁩, 786, or a crescent and star.
2. Personal detailsFull name, date and place of birth, height, complexion, marital status, and biradari or family name if your family uses one.
3. Religious detailsSect (Sunni or Shia), maslak (Hanafi, Deobandi, Barelvi…), namaz, and hijab for girls.
4. Education & careerHighest qualification, college, occupation, company, work location and income (a range is fine). Mention it even if you are still studying.
5. Family detailsFather's and mother's names and occupations, brothers and sisters, family type and native place.
6. Contact detailsOne or two phone numbers, usually a parent's, and the city or area. You can hide the phone and address when sharing widely.
7. About meThree or four lines about your nature, interests and outlook. Honest and simple beats long and flowery.
8. Partner expectationsWhat matters most to you: education, values, location, food habits or community. Keep it short and polite.

Tips

• Mention your sect and maslak clearly: it is one of the first things families check.
• If you are open to a partner from another maslak or city, say so in partner expectations.
• Sharing in big groups? Hide the phone number and address, or add a "Private & Confidential" watermark.
• Share it as a PDF or a JPG, never as a Word file: the layout stays exactly as you designed it on every phone.
