(1557), and she was married at Jālandhar shortly after Safar 15th, 965H. (middle of December, 1557) to Bairām Khān-i-khānān. It is said that the marriage excited great interest at Court. It united two streams of descent from 'Alī shukr Beg Bahārlū Turkman. Salīma-sultān was a Timurid through Bābar, one of her grandfathers, and through Mahmūd, one of her great-grandfathers. A few words must be said about her age at the time of her marriage, because the question has been raised through Jahāngīr's statement that she died at the age of sixty in 1021H., and commented upon by the Darbār-i-akbarī. If Jahāngīr gives her age correctly she must have been born in 961H., and this would make her a child of five when she married Bairām, and needs her betrothal by her father to Bairām to date from babyhood. - [Previous: 150.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.humayun.humayunnama~en-beveridge.150.3) - [Next: 150.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.humayun.humayunnama~en-beveridge.150.5) - [Up: 150](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.humayun.humayunnama~en-beveridge.150) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.humayun.humayunnama~en-beveridge.150.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.humayun.humayunnama~en-beveridge.150.4) · Pramāṇa
