Malayalam Marriage Biodata Maker

A biodata with Malayalam headings and labels

This page opens an empty biodata with Language of the paper set to മലയാളം. The title is printed as “ബയോഡാറ്റ” — or “വിവാഹ ബയോഡാറ്റ” if you choose it in the Title box — and every heading and ready-made label is in Malayalam:

In the form, each Malayalam label has its English meaning in small letters under it, so a relative who is more at home in English can still fill it in. The date of birth is printed with the month in Malayalam — 14 മാർച്ച് 1998 — and the age, if you tick it, as “28 വയസ്സ്”.

What you type stays as you typed it

Only the paper's own words are translated. What you type beside a label is printed exactly as it is, in Malayalam, English or both. That is how most Malayalam biodatas are written anyway: the name of a degree, a company or a city often reads more easily in English. To type in Malayalam without a Malayalam keyboard, the Transliteration Tool turns “Manglish” typed in English letters into Malayalam that you can paste in.

If a label is not the word your family would use, remove that line with the cross, tap + A line of your own, and type the label you prefer.

Suggestions in Malayalam

Some boxes suggest common answers as you type, and on a Malayalam paper they are in Malayalam. The star box offers the 27 names from അശ്വതി to രേവതി, and the rasi box the twelve from മേടം to മീനം. Marital status, diet, religion and family type have suggestions as well. They are only there to save typing; anything else can be typed.

Lines for Hindu, Muslim and Christian families

Under Religion and community (മതവും സമുദായവും), Lines for sets out the lines each faith's biodatas usually carry: ജാതി, ഗോത്രം, നക്ഷത്രം and രാശി for Hindu; വിഭാഗം and മഹല്ല് for Muslim; സഭ and ഇടവക for Christian. Each faith also has a line offered for the top of the paper in Malayalam script.

The same biodata in English too

Families often need both: Malayalam for elders at home, English for relatives abroad. Fill in one, tap Copy under Your biodatas, and change the language of the copy to English. The labels change at once; retype only the answers you want in the other language.

The Malayalam letters are drawn into the PDF as a picture, so they look the same on every phone and printer, with no missing or broken conjuncts. For the same reason, the text in the PDF cannot be selected or copied.

Photo, design and sending

Add a photo under Photo, drag it inside the box until the face sits well, and choose one of the four designs and seven colours under How it looks. The paper on the page is the finished biodata: Download PDF saves it as one A4 page, and Share the PDF hands it to WhatsApp or any other app on a phone. How the paper fits itself to one page, what a link carries and how to leave the contact details off a copy are explained in the main guide.
