What to Write in Your Matrimonial Profile: Tips and Examples

By My Rishta Pakistan · Updated 25 October 2026

A good profile helps the right family find you. Here is how to write one that is honest, clear and respectful.

What to include

• Basic details: age, height, city, education, profession.
• Family background: a short, respectful description of your family, siblings and parents’ work if you wish.
• Your nature: two or three sentences about your values, routine and interests.
• What you are looking for: realistic expectations in a few lines.
• Photo: a clear, recent photo if you are comfortable, dressed modestly and with good light.

What to avoid

• Exaggerating income, education or status. It always comes out later.
• Very long lists of demands. Keep expectations reasonable.
• Putting your phone number, address or ID details in a public profile.
• Negative statements about previous relationships or people.

Simple example

“I am a 27-year-old software engineer from Lahore. I enjoy reading, cricket and spending time with my family. I value honesty, respect and a simple, happy home. I am looking for a well-educated, kind and family-oriented partner who is open to living in Lahore.”

For parents writing for a son or daughter

Write in the first person if your child agrees, or clearly say the profile is managed by family. Describe your child’s education, character and goals, and mention the kind of family you hope to connect with.

Keep it updated

Update your profile when your job, city or photo changes. An up-to-date profile receives more serious messages.
