Gotra is a gate, not points
Sagotra matches are traditionally avoided. The same gotra is flagged and the score is held at 40 or below — so it can never look like a good match. Check two gotras →

How it is worked out
Nine things families ask, weighed
Out of 100 points. A transparent calculation from both profiles and both families’ stated preferences — no hidden ranking.
Location स्थान
18 pts
Where you each live, work and come from — and whether it is a place you listed in your preferences.
Gotra गोत्र
14 pts
Your gotras — and maternal gotras too, which most sites ignore. The same gotra is never scored: it is a gate (see below).
Age आयु
14 pts
Whether each of you falls within the age range the other asked for.
Community समाज
12 pts
Caste and sub-caste, against the communities you said you would consider.
Marriage timeline समय
10 pts
Whether you both hope to marry on a similar timeline.
Lifestyle जीवनशैली
10 pts
Diet, smoking and drinking — and your stated diet preference.
Family roots मूल
8 pts
Native places and the Mithila region — how close your families’ roots are.
Education शिक्षा
8 pts
How your levels of education sit together.
Family परिवार
6 pts
Family type and family values.
Three rules that make it trustworthy
02
Blank is never scored
If neither family filled something in, it is left out — not counted as zero, not guessed. Each score carries how much of the picture it was built on.
03
Every score explains itself
You see the reasons, not just a number — “Lives in a location you listed”, “Gotra and maternal gotra are both clear”. Open a profile for the full breakdown, factor by factor.

Looking at horoscopes too? The Kundli Match tool compares two birth charts (Ashtakoot guna milan) — a different question from the match score, and many families look at both.
Common questions
How is the Mithila Jodi match score worked out?
Nine factors are weighed — location (18), gotra (14), age (14), community (12), marriage timeline (10), lifestyle (10), family roots (8), education (8) and family (6) — using both profiles and both families’ stated preferences. The result is a percentage with the reasons behind it.
What happens if both families have the same gotra?
Sagotra matches are traditionally avoided in Maithil marriage, so the same gotra is not treated as a few lost points. It is a gate: the pair is flagged, and the score is held at 40 or below, so it can never appear as a good match. Maternal gotras are checked too — a clash with a maternal gotra lowers the gotra score.
What if a profile has missing details?
A factor neither family has filled in is left out of the calculation rather than scored as a zero or a guess. The score also carries a confidence — how much of the picture it was built on — so a high score from only a few details is not shown as a strong match.
Is the match score the same as kundli matching?
No. The match score compares two profiles and two families’ preferences. Kundli matching (Ashtakoot guna milan) compares two horoscopes from birth details — Mithila Jodi has a free Kundli Match tool for that, and many families look at both.
Where do I see my match score?
On every profile you open after signing in, in search results and in your Feed’s recommendations — each with the reasons, such as “Lives in a location you listed in your preferences”. Joining Mithila Jodi is free.
