How a Muslim biodata differs

A Muslim marriage biodata has the same overall shape as any Indian biodata (personal details, education, family, about me, contact) with three differences:

  1. No horoscope section. Rashi, nakshatra and manglik status are left out entirely, and birth time is usually not needed.
  2. Sect and maslak. Families often write Sunni or Shia, and the maslak (school of thought) such as Hanafi, Shafi'i, Deobandi, Barelvi or Ahl-e-Hadith. It helps families with similar practice find each other.
  3. A line about deen. Many families describe religious practice in a few words: whether the person prays regularly, reads the Quran, wears hijab or keeps a beard. This is entirely optional.

The opening line

Most Muslim biodatas begin with Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim in Arabic script, or 786, the numerical form commonly used in South Asia. It is a blessing, not a requirement; a clean biodata that starts with the name is equally respectful.

Family section

Muslim families often place a lot of weight on the family section. Write:

  • Father's and mother's names and work
  • Brothers and sisters, with whether they are married and where they live
  • Joint or nuclear family, and the family's native place (watan)
  • Optionally, one or two well-known relatives, such as a mamu or chacha, if families in your circle would recognise them

Education, including religious education

Write the highest degree and current work. If the person is a hafiz or hafiza, or has studied at a madrasa (alim or alima), add it: many families value it highly.

Partner expectations

Keep this about values and practical life: "practising, educated, from a respectful family, supportive of her profession". Leave mahr, gifts and wedding arrangements out of the biodata. Those are for the families to discuss in person, and never belong in a first introduction.

Designs and languages

The Muslim design opens with Bismillah in a calm green and gold frame. You can also choose any modern design. The biodata can be made in English, Urdu (right to left), Hindi or any other supported language.

Questions families ask

What is included in a Muslim marriage biodata?

Name, date and place of birth, height, sect and maslak, education and profession, family details and native place, a few lines about the person and their deen, partner expectations, one photo and a guardian's contact. Horoscope sections are left out.

Should a Muslim biodata mention sect or maslak?

Most families find it helpful, for example Sunni (Hanafi), Shia (Ithna Ashari) or Ahl-e-Hadith. It is optional; some families prefer to write only "Muslim".

What goes at the top of a Muslim biodata?

Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim, written in Arabic or as 786, is the usual opening. You can also start directly with the name.

Should a Muslim girl's biodata mention hijab or religious practice?

Only if the family wants to. A short line such as "practising; wears hijab" helps families with similar values find each other, and is better than leaving it to guesswork.

Can I make a Muslim biodata in Urdu?

Yes. You can make the biodata in Urdu, written right to left, or in English, Hindi or any other supported language.
