What is a marriage biodata?
Height on an Indian marriage biodata is conventionally written in feet and inches — for example 5'7" — often with the centimetre equivalent in brackets for families abroad.
It is one of the few fields families filter on before reading anything else, so an ambiguous or missing height quietly costs you proposals.

What to include in your biodata
What the Height section should cover
- Use feet and inches as the primary unit — 5'7" — because that is what Indian families read fluently.
- Add centimetres in brackets if you expect NRI proposals: 5'7" (170 cm).
- Write the exact figure. Rounding half an inch up is noticed at the first meeting.
- Keep height, weight and complexion together in one 'Physical details' block.
- Use the straight-inch mark consistently so the line does not look mistyped.
What to leave out
- Writing '5.7' — that is a decimal, not five feet seven, and it reads as careless.
- Leaving height blank, which most families treat as concealment rather than oversight.
- Mixing units across the biodata — feet here, centimetres there.
- Writing 'average height' instead of a figure.

Frequently asked questions
How do I write height in a marriage biodata?
In feet and inches, as 5'7". Add centimetres in brackets — 5'7" (170 cm) — if you expect proposals from families abroad.
Should height be in feet or centimetres?
Feet and inches first, because that is what Indian families read at a glance. Centimetres are a useful addition, not a replacement.
Is it a mistake to write 5.7 instead of 5'7"?
Yes. 5.7 is a decimal and reads as five point seven feet. Always use the foot and inch marks.
Can I leave height out?
It is one of the first fields families filter on, so a blank tends to be read as concealment. Include the exact figure.
