10 Common Marriage Biodata Mistakes That Get You Rejected
You sent your biodata to 10 families but got zero replies. Why? The problem might not be you—it might be your document.
Mistake #1: Using a Selfie or Group Photo
Uploaded a blurry selfie, a photo with sunglasses, or a group picture where it's hard to tell who you are. This shows a lack of seriousness.
Use a high-quality, solo, chest-level portrait with a plain background and a pleasant smile.
Mistake #2: Hiding Your Age or Height
Leaving out basic stats or lying about them. Families value transparency above all else.
Be honest. Transparency builds trust. If you are 5ft 4in, state it proudly.
Mistake #3: Spelling Errors & Bad Formatting
A messy Word doc with misaligned text and typos suggests you are careless or unprofessional.
Don't use Word. Use an automated PDF generator to ensure lines are straight and layout is perfect.
Mistake #4: Being Too Vague About Expectations
Writing generic phrases like 'Looking for a good girl/boy'. This helps no one understand what you actually want.
Define 'good'. Mention specifics: Education, Location, Religious Values, or Lifestyle preferences.
Mistake #5: Including Too Much Info (The 4-Page Resume)
Writing a novel about your life history. Parents scan biodatas; they don't read them like books.
Keep it to 1-2 pages maximum. Focus on the highlights.
