Her mother was his consort Şirin Hatun; thus she had one younger full-brother, Şehzade Abdullah, born in 1465, who died in 1484 (the first son of Bayezid).
[2] In 1489[2] or 1490,[3][4] Aynışah was married firstly to Göde Sultanzade Ahmed Bey, son of Muhammad Mirza Ugurlu of the Aq Qoyunlu[5][6] and her aunt Gevherhan Hatun and thus her own cousin.
There is a possibility that, since Ahmed had already been living in the Sultan's court for a long time, the marriage took place at an even earlier date.
[5][6] At the turn of the 1500s or a little later, as evidenced by a list of gifts, Aynışah was married secondly to Yahya Pasha, a prominent statesman and military man under her father and grandfather Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror, and head of what became an influential clan of frontier officials.
[3] She was still alive and on good terms with the latter when he deposed the former in 1512, as evident in a letter she, like her sister Ilaldi,[2] wrote him to congratulate him on his ascension.
