How to Write a Marriage Biodata, Step by Step

Last updated: 27 October 2026

To write a marriage biodata, gather your basic details, set out your education, work and family clearly, write a short “About me” and “Partner expectations” in a warm, honest tone, and add a guardian’s contact number. Keep it to one page, ask a family member to check it, then save it as an image for WhatsApp or a PDF for printing.

Step 1: Decide who it’s for and which language

Who will read it first? If it is going to an aunt in Bangladesh or a ghotok (matchmaker), Bangla is often the better choice. For families in the UK, USA or the Gulf, English usually works. You can make both: fill in the English editor, then repeat in the Bangla editor. It only takes a few extra minutes.

Step 2: Gather the facts first

Before you type anything, collect your date of birth, height, exam results and years, exact job title, and your parents’ and siblings’ occupations. Accurate facts matter more than polished wording. A wrong graduation year or an inflated salary is exactly the kind of detail that unsettles a family later.

Step 3: Personal details

Give your name, date of birth (not just your age), height, marital status, religion and where you live now. For your permanent address, the district and upazila are enough. Complexion is optional, and many families now leave it out altogether.

Step 4: Education and work

List your highest qualification with subject and year, then earlier ones if your family expects them. For work, write job title, type of employer and city: “Software engineer, a fintech company, Dhaka” says far more than “private job”. Salary is optional; a range or “on request” are both acceptable. Leave out your workplace’s full address.

Step 5: Family background

Note your parents’ names and occupations, the number of siblings and what they do. One line on the family’s character, such as “a close-knit, middle-class family from Rajshahi”, gives helpful context. A full family tree is unnecessary.

Step 6: About me and partner expectations

This is the part most people find hardest. A few principles on tone:

Step 7: Contact, check and download

Add a guardian’s name, relationship and number. Then ask a parent or sibling to read it once; they will spot a wrong date faster than you will. Finally, export a PNG for WhatsApp, Messenger or IMO and an A4 PDF for printing.

Three example paragraphs

Use these as a starting point, not a script. Change the details until they sound like you.

Example 1: A groom working in Dhaka

About me: I am an easy-going, responsible person and work as a civil engineer in Dhaka. I visit my parents in Rajshahi most months, and at weekends I enjoy cooking and playing football with old friends. I try to keep my word and stay calm under pressure.

Partner expectations: I hope to marry someone educated and kind, who values family and is happy to build a life in Dhaka. If she wants to continue her studies or career, she will have my full support.

Example 2: A practising Muslim bride

About me: Alhamdulillah, I pray regularly and am currently learning tajweed. I work as a primary school teacher and love watching children grow in confidence. At home I am quiet and organised, and I enjoy reading and gardening.

Partner expectations: I am looking for a practising, honest man who earns a halal income and treats his family gently. I would like to continue teaching after marriage while observing hijab.

Example 3: A British-Bangladeshi professional

About me: I was born and raised in Birmingham, with family roots in Moulvibazar. I work in IT project management, speak Bangla and Sylheti at home, and spend my free time volunteering and travelling. My family and faith are central to my life.

Partner expectations: I would like to meet someone kind, grounded and educated, who is comfortable in both British and Bangladeshi culture. Ideally she would be settled in the UK or happy to move here.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Writing your age instead of your date of birth
• Vague job titles such as “private service” or “business”
• Using an old or heavily filtered photo (a photo is optional anyway)
• Sending a Word file that breaks on other people’s phones
• Including your National ID, passport or bank details
