This one carries no photograph, and there is no box on it for your address. Answer what you want to answer, skip the rest, and take the result away as a PDF in any of the 25 designs, or as a Word file you can keep editing.
JazakAllahu Khair. Save it, print it, or send it on. If you would like a different design, choose another one and create it again.

A PDF cannot be taken back once it is in a WhatsApp group. An Azwaj Rishta Card is the same details at a link and a printed QR that open only with a PIN you control. Change the PIN and every forwarded copy goes dead, while your own link keeps working, and you see who opened it and who left their number for you.
See the Rishta Card₹999 + GST for 3 months in India, ₹1,899 from outside. It stops by itself, nothing renews.
Write it for the stranger who reads it last, not only for the family you are sending it to tonight. A bride's biodata gets forwarded on, saved to a phone, and opened again by people who never contacted you and never will, and it sits there long after your own rishta is settled. That is the test for every line on it: would you mind this being read by somebody you will never meet, a year from now.
Very little on the form is compulsory. Three answers are required, the name, the age, and whether the biodata is for a bride or a groom, and everything after that is yours to fill or to skip. The order the sections print in, and how to word the deen lines so they say something, belong to the Muslim marriage biodata format.
They will ask, and it is a fair thing to ask. There is no upload on the form and no picture on the document, for the reason the tool page gives, so the asking happens in conversation instead, which is the better place for it. Say that a photograph will be shared once both families have spoken and the interest is serious. Then send it to that one family, from your wali's phone, and to nobody else. The full version of that answer, with the wording, is on the biodata without a photo page.
The form has no complexion box, so the question arrives in the phone call instead. Brides get asked it and grooms mostly do not. You can answer plainly, or your father or your brother can say that the family does not answer that question, and both are respectable replies. A family that cannot get past it has told you something early, while learning it still costs nothing.
Add one sentence to a few lines about yourself about what you intend to do about work after nikah. That you mean to keep your job. That you would like to teach or practise part time. That you plan to stop. That you would rather decide it together with your husband. This comes up in rishta conversations and is rarely written down anywhere, so a family that wanted something different finds out late, when both sides are already attached to the idea. Any of those sentences is a good answer. Silence is the only weak one.
Answer for how you are today, not for who you hope to be. Growing in your deen is between you and Allah, and a line that describes a future self is a hard thing to live up to in the first month of a marriage.
Send it to named people rather than posting it into open groups, and keep a note of who received which version and when. If one family asks for more detail than you were willing to put on a page that travels, make that version for them alone from the editable Word file. A bride who has been married before has one more row to think about and one more sentence to write, and both are on the second marriage page.
No, and there does not need to be one. The same form builds both. Choosing Bride shows the hijab question in the Deen section and hides the beard one, and the document follows what you answered. What really differs between a bride's biodata and a groom's is what each of them chooses to leave off, and which questions each of them gets asked afterwards on the phone.
Your wali's, or whoever in the family is handling the rishta: the field is labelled Contact through for that reason. Giving his number is what keeps your own number with you, yours to hand out later if you decide to. Nobody who reads the page can reach you except through him, which is the whole point of it.
No, and the form has no address field. It asks the city you live in and your native place, which is what a family needs in order to judge whether a match makes sense at all. A street address on a page that will be forwarded is a safety question rather than a matter of taste, and no rishta was ever refused for want of a house number.
Pick the closest of the five, Prefer not to say included, and then write the rest in your own words in the lines about yourself. Niqab, covering only outside your own city, covering at work but not in the building you live in: a sentence carries that where a dropdown cannot. It is better read once on the page than raised for the first time in a meeting.
Yes, and biodatas are often typed by somebody other than the person on them. The form never asks who is filling it in. Two things are worth doing anyway: write the lines about herself in her words rather than about her, because that is the part a family reads closely, and read the whole thing back to her before you download it. She is the one who will have to answer for every line on it.
