[5] Abdulmejid first purchased Mustafa Reşid Pasha's palace and waterfront house in Baltalimanı at a cost of 250,000 gold liras.

He then gave freehold possession of these estates to his daughter Fatma Sultan, leaving the Pasha with a vast fortune to pay for the wedding expenses.

Ali Galip Bey was appointed to Pasha's rank and made a member of the Meclis-i Vâlâ (Supreme Court).

[9][10] Following the dubious conviction and exile to Arabia of her husband for complicity in the death of Sultan Abdulaziz in 1876, Fatma withdrew to her palace.

Fatma, furious, screamed and threatened the guards, reminding them that she was a princess and that no one could prevent her from entering, least of all ensign, and that if she wanted to see Murad she would see him, even if she had to stay there all night.

On another occasion, worried about Murad's health, she managed to have him examined by her personal doctor, sent secretly to his Palace disguised as a Kalfa.

His men were killed and the conspirators belonging to the royal family, although not executed, were placed under house arrest or severe restrictions and controls.

Notably, Fatma was placed under house arrest in her palace until her death, and her adoptive mother Servetseza died a few months later, according to many poisoned by Abdülhamid himself.
