Family & Background 1 min read Short & Sweet Advice

What family details should be included in a biodata?

Key Takeaway

Stick to immediate family: parents' occupations, siblings' marital status, native place, and current city. Leave out distant relatives and home addresses.

Detailed Advice

Keep it to the essentials:

Father's name and occupation
Mother's name and occupation, or homemaker
Siblings with age and marital status, married or unmarried
Native place and current city
Family type and values in a few words, like nuclear family with traditional values

What to leave out: the income of every relative, uncles and aunts, and above all your home address.

Family background does matter to Indian families. But this is a summary, not a family tree.
