Mahpeyker Hanımsultan

[12] In 1931, Caliph Abdulmejid II arranged marriage of his only daughter, Dürrüşehvar Sultan to Azam Jah, elder son and heir to Mir Osman Ali Khan, Nizam of Hyderabad, and Mahpeyker to Moazzam Jah, second son of the Nizam.

Unhappy with the high mahr demanded by her family, he finally settled for a second Ottoman bride to be included in the deal.

[14] In 1939, a special law was passed for the return to Turkey of Mahpeyker and her siblings, after which they settled in Istanbul.

Mahpeyker and her husband worked as psychiatrists from 1954 to 1959 in the United States, from 1959 to 1961 in England, and returned to Turkey in 1961.

Her funeral took place on 6 April at the Galip Paşa Mosque in Erenköy, and was attended by the members of the Ottoman dynasty.
