Marriage guide
Rishta biodata: what to write, and what to leave out.
A biodata is often the first thing a family sees. A clear, honest one gets better responses. Here is a checklist for girls, boys and families.
What to include
- Name, age and height
- Education and work
- Family: parents’ occupations, siblings
- Religious practice and what it means to you
- What you are looking for
- Where you live, and where you would settle
What to leave out
Phone numbers, CNIC, home address and detailed financial information. Share these only once families are serious. Be careful with photos, especially of women: share them only with people you trust.
Be honest
Say if you have been married before, or have children or health conditions. Honesty prevents heartbreak later.

Frequently asked questions
Should a woman put her photo on a biodata?

How long should a biodata be?
One page is usually enough.
