What to Write in 'About Myself' in a Marriage Biodata (Examples)

Most biodatas are tables of facts — which is exactly why two or three good lines about who you actually are stand out. The “About Myself” section (added as a custom field or custom section in our editor) is where a biodata stops being a form and starts being a person. Here is how to write it without sounding either boastful or generic.

The formula: one line each

• Temperament: how you actually are day to day.
• Interests: one or two specific things you do, with evidence.
• Values / lifestyle: the things a future partner genuinely needs to know.

Good vs bad, side by side

Notice the difference: the strong version is specific and verifiable. Anyone can claim to be “caring”; only a real person plans the family trips. Specifics also give the other family something natural to open the first conversation with.

Rules worth following

• Maximum three lines. Past that it reads as a personal essay, and biodatas are skimmed.
• No adjectives without evidence. Replace “fun-loving” with the thing that proves it.
• State dealbreaker facts plainly. Vegetarianism, willingness to relocate, wanting to keep working after marriage — these belong here, stated once, without apology.
• Write in first person, have a parent read it. If it makes them smile and nod, it is right. If it makes them frown, rewrite the frowned-at line — not your personality.
