Muslim Marriage Biodata Format
A Muslim marriage biodata is built around the Nikah rather than a horoscope-matched wedding, so it looks noticeably different from a Hindu one — there's no Rasi or Gothram section at all. Instead, families usually mention sect (Sunni or Shia, and sometimes the specific school of thought), how religiously observant the person is (regular in prayer, hijab preference, etc.), and details relevant to the Nikah itself, such as Wali (the bride's guardian who represents her in the marriage contract) and sometimes an indication around Mahr expectations. Education, profession and family background sections stay much the same as any other biodata.
Fields commonly used
Sect (Sunni/Shia), religious observance, Wali/guardian details, family's native place of origin, and profession — no horoscope or Gothram fields.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to mention Mahr (dower) in the biodata itself?
It's not required — Mahr is usually discussed directly between families once there's mutual interest, rather than listed upfront in the biodata.
Should I include my Wali's details in my own biodata?
It's common for a bride's biodata to mention her Wali (usually father or an appointed male guardian) and his contact details, since he represents her in the Nikah discussions.
