India has over 170 Million Muslims (2011 census) and they have established a unique identity. The Muslim marriage biodata in the context of India reflects the unique blend of cultural affinity with the Indian society and the traditional practices dictated the by the religion.
Here are some of the unique aspects of the Muslim marriage biodata format in India:
1. Women tend to include lifestyle preferences in the context of religious requirements. Example - The practice of wearing a hijab. Some women prefer not to wear the hijab after marriage while others, with a more traditional outlook on life, prefer to wear the hijab.
2. Both men and women indicate how religious they are in terms of following the daily prayer rituals and pilgrimage to Mecca.
3. Some Indian Muslims prefer to marry from the same caste while others are open to all castes. This is yet another example of how age old traditions dictated by geography influence religious practices.
4. Some Muslims are particular about their Madhab and want to call this out specifically. This could potentially impact their lifestyle and hence can become an important factor for matchmaking.
5. Men tend to call out how religious they are and their preference for dress code.
6. The profile photograph provides an indication of how religious the person is.

I am an artist who is passionate about Islamic art and calligraphy. I love cooking for my family during the weekends.
