What a Tamil marriage biodata includes
- Personal: name, date & place of birth, height, education, occupation.
- Lineage & astrology: as Tamil families expect (ஜாதகம்) — details below.
- Family: parents' names & occupations, siblings, native place.
- Contact & a clear photo.
Tamil-specific details that matter
Tamil families often list jathagam (ஜாதகம்), natchathiram (star), rasi, the 10 poruthams and Sevvai dosham. Many also note gotram, or kula deivam (family deity), kootam or kulam (clan) and ooru (native place). Iyengar families may note Vadakalai or Thenkalai.

The one-page structure (in order)
- Header — the name, and an opening line only if your family uses one.
- Personal — date & place of birth, height, education, occupation, income.
- Lineage & astrology — ஜாதகம், with gotra/clan and the community fields noted above
- Family — father's & mother's name and occupation, siblings, native place.
- Partner expectations — one or two honest lines.
- Contact — phone/WhatsApp (often a guardian's) and city.
Do's and don'ts
- Do keep it to one clean page — families skim.
- Do add one clear, recent photo.
- Do be honest about height and income — mismatches surface fast.
- Do send families a PDF or link. Keep the Word file for your own edits, because it can look different on other phones.
- Don't forward a screenshot — it blurs on every forward; share a link instead.
Send a link, not a screenshot
Tamil families now exchange biodatas on WhatsApp. A link looks sharp on every forward, unlike a blurry screenshot or a heavy Word file. Spotted a mistake? Make a new link and delete the old one.
