Ismat al-Doulah

'Ismat al-Doulah, 'Ismat al-Dawlah or 'Esmat ed-Dowleh (Persian: عصمت‌الدوله; c. 1855 – 31 August 1905), also known as Fatimah Khanum or Fatemeh Khanum (Persian: فاطمه خانم), was the second daughter of Naser al-Din Shah Qajar (r. 1848–1896) and royal consort Taj al-Dawlah. She married Dost Mohammad Khan Muir al-Mamalek and had four children. She was buried at the Shah Abdol-Azim Shrine. Ismat al-Doulah was a very beloved and pampered girl. Her mother, Taj al-Dawlah, was a princess and one of the distinguished women of the royal court. She was also one of Naser al-Din Shah’s favorite children.

A widely circulated online claim that she was considered the "ultimate symbol of beauty" in Qajar Persia, so much that thirteen suitors killed themselves upon her rejection, has been disproven. Mirza Aghasi gifted Hoseinabad to Naser al-Din Shah, and after some time, this village became part of Ismat al-Doulah’s dowry. They renamed it Mehrabad. Fatemeh, who was given the title Ismat al-Doulah, was a daughter of Naser al-Din Shah Qajar. She was born in 1272 AH to a woman named Taj al-Doulah. Her mother was the granddaughter of Fath-Ali Shah Qajar and the Shah’s second wife, who married him after he ascended the throne. Fatemeh was the Shah’s second daughter and had an older brother named Sultan Moein al-Din Mirza. Her younger brother was briefly the crown prince but died at the age of nine.
