What families look for in a sister's biodata
Families usually read a sister's biodata for three things: her deen, her character, and whether her plans fit theirs, like study, work and where she'd live. Lead with those, in your own words.
You decide what to share. Many sisters leave out a photo, keep contact through their wali, and share more as a conversation gets serious.

About me
The eldest of four, so looking after people comes naturally, at home and on the ward. I love long drives, Somali tea with my aunties, and finding new places to volunteer.
What I'm looking for
A practising brother, 25–31, who is gentle, responsible and close to his family. Settled in Canada, or happy to be.

Tips for sisters
Your privacy comes first
Leave off your photo and number if you'd rather. On a pair.link, you can hide your photos and show your first name only.
Write it yourself
Even if your family shares it, a few sentences in your own voice say more than a list of adjectives.
Be clear about work and study
If you plan to keep working or studying after marriage, say so. It saves everyone time.
Say what matters most
Deen and character first, then the practical things, like age range and where you'd live.
For sisters: questions, answered.
What should a Muslim girl write in her biodata?
Her basic details, her deen, her studies and work, her family, a few sentences about herself, what she's looking for in a spouse, and a contact through her wali or family.
Should a Muslim girl put a photo on her biodata?
It's her choice. Many families prefer a first introduction without photos. If you add one, keep it modest; on a pair.link, you can make your photos private.
Should I mention hijab on my biodata?
If it matters to you or to the families you hope to meet, yes. A line like “Wears hijab” is enough, and it's optional.
Should I mention working after marriage?
If you have a plan, yes. Families often ask, and saying it up front saves time on both sides.
How can a sister share her biodata without her number?
Put your wali's or family's contact on it, or create a free pair.link and add its Apply to match code, so people apply through inpairs instead.
Ready to be seen, on your terms?
Free to create, and off until you choose to share it.
May Allah make it easy.
