01What is a family biodata?
A one-page document describing your family’s structure and values for an arranged-marriage conversation: parents and their occupations, siblings, family type, native place, kul/gotra if your community uses it, family occupation, and a short family-values paragraph. It is the family section of a matrimonial biodata, written out properly rather than left as a few bullet points.
02Is a family biodata the same as a matrimonial biodata?
It is the same one-page format with a different emphasis. A matrimonial biodata leads with your personal details, education, and work; a family biodata opens with the family section and gives the family-values paragraph room. Both export to the same PDF, Word, JPG, or PNG from the same set of designs.
03What should the family section include?
Parents and what they do, siblings and where they are settled, whether the family is joint or nuclear, the family’s native place, kul/gotra if you use those terms, any family occupation, and two or three sentences on what the household values. That is exactly what the form on this page asks for, in that order.
04How do I write the family-introduction paragraph?
Use the generator above: fill in family type, native place, parents’ occupations, siblings, and pick the values that fit. It assembles three versions (traditional, modern, and short) in your browser, and you paste whichever one sounds closest to your family. Then edit a word or two so it reads like you wrote it.
05Should I include kul and gotra in my family biodata?
Only if your community uses those terms and you want them on the document. Both are common in North Indian biodatas and less so elsewhere; if the field does not apply to you, leave it blank or delete the row; an empty field does not print.
06Who should be the primary contact on a family biodata?
Whichever parent answers the phone first, if a parent is writing or coordinating. On this page’s form, parent contact numbers are listed before your own number for that reason. If you are handling the conversation yourself, put yours first instead.
07Do I need to say whether the family is joint or nuclear?
Yes: it is one of the first things the other family will want to know, and stating it plainly saves an awkward question later. Say joint and who lives in the house, or nuclear and who is nearby.
08Can I delete fields I do not want to answer?
Yes. Every row has a delete button, and fields can be dragged into a different order. The export only prints what is left; nothing empty is carried into the document.
09What format should I download?
PDF for printing and forwarding on WhatsApp, Word if you want to keep editing the text, JPG or PNG for pasting into a message. All four are free and none of them require an account.
10Is my family’s information stored anywhere?
No. Everything you type stays in this browser; nothing is sent to a server unless you download or share the file yourself, and clearing your browser data clears the form. The generator runs in your browser too.
