What is a marriage biodata?
The family section of a marriage biodata introduces your parents and siblings — their names, occupations and marital status — plus a line or two on your native place and the kind of household you grew up in. The 2 samples on this page are written for a girl's marriage biodata.
In an arranged match two families are being introduced, not just two people. This section is often the first thing an elder reads, and it is what determines whether the conversation continues.

What to include in your biodata
What the About My Family section should cover
- List father and mother with name and occupation, even if retired — write 'Retired bank manager', not a blank.
- Give siblings with marital status; families read this to understand responsibilities still at home.
- Name your native place separately from your current city. Elders match on native place.
- Describe values in plain language — 'we are a moderately traditional family, festivals are important to us' beats 'we have good family values'.
- Keep it factual. Do not list property, business turnover or assets here.
What to leave out
- Writing only 'Father: Business' — it tells the reader nothing and invites a phone call to ask.
- Omitting siblings entirely, which reads as concealment when it comes up later.
- Describing the family as 'highly respected in society' — every biodata says this, so it carries no information.
- Mixing family details into the personal section instead of giving them their own clearly headed block.

About My Family samples written for a girl
Nuclear family, Chennai — My father is a retired State Bank branch manager and my mother is a homemaker. I have one elder sister who is married and settled in Coimbatore with her husband and daughter. We are originally from Thanjavur and have lived in Chennai for the last twenty years. Ours is a small, fairly traditional household — we keep the festivals, and my parents have always encouraged us to make our own decisions.
Joint family, Jaipur — My father runs our family's construction firm along with my uncle, and my mother is a homemaker who taught at a primary school before marriage. I have a younger brother in his final year of engineering. We live in a joint family in Jaipur with my grandparents, and our native place is Sikar. We are a traditional Marwari family, but the women in our home have always worked or studied as they wished.

Frequently asked questions
What should a girl write in the about my family section of a marriage biodata?
The family section of a marriage biodata introduces your parents and siblings — their names, occupations and marital status — plus a line or two on your native place and the kind of household you grew up in. The 2 samples on this page are written for a girl's marriage biodata.
Should I mention my siblings' marital status?
Yes. Families read it to understand what responsibilities are still at home, and leaving it out looks like concealment when it surfaces later.
Should I mention family income or property?
No. A biodata introduces a family, it does not price one. Income and property come up much later, directly between the families.
What if a parent has passed away?
State it simply — 'Late Shri …' with their occupation. It is normal, it is expected, and a plain factual line is the respectful way to write it.
