Common questions

What is the best format for marriage biodata?

The best format is one page when possible, with sections for personal details, community details, education, profession, family, partner preferences, and contact information.

Should I include horoscope details?

For Hindu and some regional communities, details like rashi, nakshatra, gotra, birth time, and manglik status are commonly included.

Can I use the same format for a boy or girl?

Yes. The core structure is the same; you can adjust emphasis around career, education, family details, and partner expectations.

How long should a marriage biodata be?

One to two A4 pages is ideal. Families prefer a single scannable page with clear section headings.

Should boys and girls use different formats?

The section structure is the same. Boys may emphasize career and income; girls may emphasize education and family background — adjust emphasis, not the layout.

Can I download the format as PDF?

Yes. Vivaahli applies your details to a designer template and exports a print-ready PDF.

Does the format support regional languages?

Yes. Biodata section labels are available in ten Indian languages while your typed details stay in the script you prefer.
