What Information Should a Matrimonial Profile Include?

Mithila Jodi Team·23 August 2026

The Purpose of a Matrimonial Profile

A matrimonial profile is the starting point of a conversation. Its purpose is to give enough accurate, relevant information for another family to decide whether they want to explore a potential match further. It is not a place to hide things — nor is it a place to include everything about a person's life. The goal is the right information, presented clearly.

Essential Information Categories

1. Identity and Personal Details

This is the most basic layer — who the person is:

Full name
Age and date of birth — important for astrological matching
Height — commonly included in South Asian matrimonial profiles
Place of birth and current location
Citizenship/residency status — particularly relevant for diaspora matches

2. Community and Lineage

For a Mithila matrimonial profile, this section is particularly important:

Sub-community / caste (e.g., Maithil Brahmin, Kayastha)
Gotra — paternal lineage
Maternal gotra — mother's natal family gotra
Mool — ancestral origin
Gram — native village

Without these details, Mithila families cannot complete the preliminary compatibility check, which means the profile is less useful.

3. Horoscope Information

Rashi (moon sign)
Nakshatra (birth star)
Manglik status — if known
Willingness to share the full horoscope on request

4. Education and Career

Highest educational qualification and field of study
Current occupation, industry and employer
Income range (optional, but valued by many families)
Career plans or future goals (optional, but gives context)

5. Family Background

Parents' names, occupations and background
Siblings (number, gender, their marital status and occupation)
Family type (joint/nuclear) and values
Property or home situation (optional)

6. Personal Attributes and Interests

Brief description of personality and values
Hobbies and interests
Lifestyle (diet, social habits)
Languages spoken

7. What You Are Looking For

This is often underused but genuinely valuable:

Preferred age range
Preferred location
Key qualities sought in a partner
Any specific requirements (e.g., willing to relocate, looking for a working/non-working partner)

A Note on Photographs

A recent, clear photograph is standard in matrimonial profiles. Natural lighting, a neutral background and an honest representation serve best. Heavy filters or photographs from years ago create unrealistic impressions — which ultimately wastes everyone's time.
