Begum Khanum

Begum Khanum (Persian: بیگم خانم) was the 62nd wife of the Qajar shah of Iran, Fath-Ali Shah Qajar (r. 1797–1834). Together they had three children, including Parviz Mirza, the 53rd son of Fath-Ali Shah. The other two died during their childhood.[1] The Islamic law only allowing a man to have four wives, she was technically his concubine and not his legal wife.

Begum Khanum was the daughter of a certain Haji Elias Tajrishi and was from Tajrish.[1]
