Married in 1819, Seyf-ol-Moluk Mirzā (d. after 1847) the eldest son of Ali Shāh Mirzā Zell-os-Soltan by the daughter of Qahar Qoli Khān Afshar. They married at the same ceremony as her brother Mohammad Shāh and Mahd-e Olia.32 She was a powerful woman and cooperated with her husband in governmental affairs. In 1826, when Seyf ol-Moluk appointed by Abbās Mirzā as the ruler of Kerman, for several days she ruled the fortress of Kerman and when her uncle Hossein Ali Mirzā Farmānfarmā decided to attack the city, she resisted the siege.33 After the death of Fat’h Ali Shāh, Zell-os-Soltan (father-in-law of Gohar Tāj Beygom) claimed to be the successor of Qajar throne, but was ultimately deposed and prisoned in Ardabil by the order of Mohammad Shāh. Shāh also prisoned Seyf-ol-Moluk in Qazvin, since he was a supporter of his father and Beygom Khānum parted from her husband for 14 years. For the next few years she lived in Tehran, growing up her children and was treated with respect and support from the Shāh.34 Beygom Khānum deceased in 1871/72 in Tehran, buried in Qom in the tomb of Mohammad Shāh Qajar.
