Career
Halil Rifat Pasha was a slave, protégé and later rival of Koca Hüsrev Mehmed Pasha. He first served as the ambassador to Russia from 1829 to 1830.[1] He then served as grand admiral for four times from 1830 to 1832, 1843–1845, 1847–1848 and 1854–1855,[2] as well as chairman of the Supreme Council of Judicial Ordinances ("Meclis-i Vâlâ") from 1842 to 1845 and 1849–1850. He also served as serasker from 1836 to 1838 and 1839–1840. This placed him in a good position to build and maintain a conservative group, usually in corporation with Hüsrev Pasha.[3]

The marriage took place on 24 May 1834 in the Beşiktaş Waterfront Palace.[4] The wedding ceremony was covered in the first official Ottoman newspaper Takvim-i Vekayi.[5] The couple owned the Neşatabad Palace located in Ortaköy Defterdarburnu and the Fındıklı Palace.[6] The two together had a son, Sultanzade Abdul Hamid Bey, born on 22 March 1835, and who died young in 1837.[7][8][9]
After Saliha's death in 1843, he married Ismet Hanım.[10] The two together had one daughter, Ayşe Sıdıka Hanım,[11][12] and one son, Damat Mahmud Celaleddin Pasha. He married three times. His first wife was Hacer Hanım, with whom he had a son Halil Rifat Bey. His second wife was Iffet Hanım, with whom he had two sons, Ali Fuad Bey and Âsım Bey.[13] His third wife was Seniha Sultan, daughter of Sultan Abdulmejid I, and the granddaughter of Mahmud II, with whom he had two sons, Sultanzade Sabahaddin[14] and Sultanzade Lutfullah Bey.[13]
