Life
She was Georgian, daughter of the noble Manuçar Bey Asemiani and his wife Mahra Hanim, and was chosen by Abdulmejid's mother, Bezmiâlem Sultan, as consort (concubine) for her son. She married Abdulmejid in 1842. She was given the title of "Third Ikbal" and later "Second Ikbal". The same year, she gave birth to her first child, a son Şehzade Mehmed Ziyaeddin.[1] The prince died young.[2] On 6 August 1848, she gave birth to her second child, a daughter, Behice Sultan in the Old Çırağan Palace.[1]
In 1850 she gave birth to twins, Şehzade Mehmed Nizameddin and Şehzade Mehmed Bahaeddin.[3] Abdulmejid was on a trip in Anatolia, and received the news of their birth through his mother, Bezmiâlem Sultan.[4] Both the princes died young.[3]
She died on 2 January 1853 of tuberculosis and grief over the loss of her three children, and was buried in the New Mosque, Istanbul.[2][5] Her daughter Behice Sultan was adopted by one of Abdülmejid's other consort, Şayan Kadın.
