Does a Muslim marriage biodata include a horoscope?

No. Kundli or horoscope matching is not part of Islamic practice. The horoscope fields in this maker are optional, and leaving them empty removes the section from the finished PDF.

Is the Bismillah header required?

It is conventional rather than required. Most Muslim marriage biodata open with it, but you can select any other header or none at all.

Should mehr be mentioned on the biodata?

Usually not. Mehr is settled between the families as part of the nikah, so it is normally discussed once a proposal is being considered seriously rather than stated up front.

Muslim Marriage Biodata Format

A Muslim marriage biodata is built differently from a Hindu one, and the clearest difference is what it leaves out: there is no horoscope section, because kundli matching has no place in Islamic practice.

What a Muslim biodata includes instead

With no horoscope block, the weight shifts to family, religious practice and education. Families typically look for the maslak or sect — Sunni or Shia, and sometimes the school within that — along with the father's and mother's details and the wider family background.

Religious observance is often mentioned briefly: whether the person prays regularly, whether they have memorised parts of the Qur'an, and for women, whether they observe hijab or niqab. How much of this to state is entirely a family matter, and plenty of biodata include none of it.

The Horoscope section in the maker stays empty unless you fill it, and an empty section is dropped from the PDF entirely — so a Muslim biodata made here simply will not have one.

The Bismillah header

Muslim biodata are conventionally headed with بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ — Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim. It is rendered here in a proper Arabic typeface with correct right-to-left shaping, and it is embedded in the PDF rather than drawn as an image, so it stays sharp at print size.

Practical notes

Mehr is negotiated between the families at the time of the nikah and is not normally stated on a biodata. Neither is a dowry expectation, which is prohibited in Islamic practice and illegal in India under the Dowry Prohibition Act.

If the proposal will go through a wali or a family elder rather than directly, it is worth putting their contact details in the Contact section rather than the candidate's own.
