Marriage contract between Ummah Khanum and Mirza Muhammad Riza, 1881
Marriage contract between Ummah Khanum, the daughter of Habib Allah, and Mirza Muhammad Riza, the son of Mirza Muhammad, dated April 2, 1881. The mahr includes 30 tumans, a qalamkar bed covering made in Isfahan worth 3 tumans, a carpet worth 10 tumans, a fourth of a piece of land known as Haj Sani’s land, one third of a piece of land known as Haj Muhammad ʻAli’s land, and parts of some properties. A statement explains that all the properties mentioned were part of the bridegroom’s late mother’s mahr and they are not his father’s belongings.
