Early life

The first was princess Ayşe Kemalifer Hanım (1838 – 1901. She married Ömer Pasha. Her younger daughter, Esma Süreyya Cavidan Hanım became the second consort of Durrinev's son, Şehzade Yusuf Izzeddin, while one of her granddaughters, Emine Nurbanu Hidayet Hanim became a consort of Şehzade Mehmed Burhaneddin, son of Sultan Abdülhamid II).

She had been brought to Istanbul as a young child, where her father entrusted her to the imperial harem together with her sister Ayşe. The two of them were then placed in the service of Sultan Abdulmejid I's first wife Servetseza Kadın, where her name according to the custom of the Ottoman court was changed to Dürrinev. She was given a good education: she spoke French without an accent, she was a good pianist and a good painter. She made paintings which he gave to Bezmiâlem Sultan and Servetseza Kadin.

Marriage
One day, when Abdulaziz was in his twenties, he visited his sister-in-law Servetseza Kadın. Here he saw Dürrinev, then twenty one years old, and fell in love with her. He asked his sister-in-law to give him Dürrünev in marriage, but she flatly refused. However, after the prince's pleading to Servetseza, she acceded to her brother-in-law's demand. The marriage took place on 20 May 1856 in the Dolmabahçe Palace.Шаблон:Sfn
Dürrinev gave birth to the couple's first child, a son, Şehzade Yusuf Izzeddin on 11 October 1857, who was Abdülaziz's favorite son. Since her husband was not yet sultan, they were forbidden to have children. The child was then hidden until his father ascended the throne.Шаблон:Sfn After Abdulaziz's accession to the throne on 25 June 1861,[5] Dürrinev was installed the principal consort with the title of "Baş Kadin".Шаблон:Sfn On 10 August 1862, she gave birth to her second child, a daughter, Fatma Saliha Sultan.Шаблон:Sfn Four years later, on 28 October 1866, she gave birth to her third child, a son, Şehzade Mehmed Selim, who died at the age of one on 21 October 1867.[6]
In 1869, she met with the Princess of Wales Alexandra of Denmark, when the latter visited Istanbul with her husband Prince of Wales Edward (future Edward VII).[7][8] Maria Georgina Grey described her during the visit:
Abdulaziz was deposed by his ministers on 30 May 1876, his nephew Murad V became the Sultan.[9] He was transferred to Feriye Palace the next day.[10] Dürrinev, and other women of Abdulaziz's entourage didn't wanted to leave the Dolmabahçe Palace. So they were grabbed by hand and were sent out to the Feriye Palace. Dürrinev was imprisoned in the rooms above Abdülaziz's with Şemifer e Zevkyab Hanım. In the process, they were searched from head to toe and everything of value was taken from them.Шаблон:Sfn On 4 June 1876,[11] Abdulaziz died under mysterious circumstances.
