Fatma Saliha Sultan (Ottoman Turkish: فاطمہ صالحہ سلطان; "who abstain one and "devoutus one"; 10 August 1862 – 1941) was an Ottoman princess, the daughter of Ottoman Sultan Abdulaziz and Dürrinev Kadın.

Early life

Saliha Sultan was born on 10 August 1862 in at the Dolmabahçe Palace. Her father was Sultan Abdulaziz, son of Mahmud II and Pertevniyal Sultan, and her mother was Dürrinev Kadın, the daughter of Prince Mahmud Dziapş-lpa and Princess Halime Çikotua. She was the eldest daughter of her father and the second child of her mother. She was the younger full sister of Crown Prince Şehzade Yusuf Izzeddin and the elder sister of Şehzade Mehmed Selim, who died at the age of one

In 1869 she met with the Princess of Wales Alexandra of Denmark when the latter visited Istanbul with her husband the Prince of Wales Albert Edward (future Edward VII).

Her father Abdulaziz was deposed by his ministers on 30 May 1876, his nephew Murad V became the Sultan. He was transferred to the Feriye Palace the next day. Her mother and other women of Abdulaziz's entourage didn't want to leave the Dolmabahçe Palace. So they were grabbed by hand and were sent out to the Feriye Palace. In the process, they were searched from head to toe and everything of value was taken from them. On 4 June 1876, Abdulaziz died under mysterious circumstances.

Saliha Sultan, a fourteen-year-old girl, continued to live in the Feriye Palace with her mother and nineteen-year-old brother.

In 1875, Saliha Sultan was engaged to Ibrahim Hilmi Pasha, the son of the Khedive of Egypt Isma'il Pasha. However, the engagement was broken off, after the dismissal of her father in 1876.

In 1889, Sultan Abdul Hamid II arranged her trousseaux and marriage together with her two sisters, Princesses Nazime Sultan and Esma Sultan, as well as his own daughter, Princess Zekiye Sultan. She married Ahmed Zülkefil Pasha, the son of Kurdzade Ismail Hakkı Pasha, on 20 April 1889 in the Yıldız Palace. He became a Damat. The couple were given a waterfront palace located in Fındıklı, Beyoğlu. The two together had a daughter named Kamile Hanımsultan, born in 1890 and died in 1896 at the age of six.
