Gulchihrah Khanum's claims, 1919

Gulchihrah Khanum's claims, 1919

1- Muhammad Husayn confirms that any writing by Gulchihrah, the daughter of Mirza ‘Abd al-Karim from Sanandaj, transferring one sixth of a property in Quzlu, her sole source of income, to her brother, Mirza ‘Ali Khan Amin al-Mamalik, is null and void. He testifies that Gulchihrah’s addiction to opium has resulted in the decline of her mental capacities, which is apparent to the people close to her, including the writer. Gulchihrah stated that some people, incited by Amin al-Mamalik, had come from Takan Tappah to her house, and while she was under the influence of opium, coerced her into writing the document (April 16, 1919); 2- Gulchihrah, the daughter of Mirza ‘Abd al-Karim from Sanandaj, gives power of attorney to Haj Khan Baba Khan Salar Muzaffar to take back her share of paternal inheritance, including the properties and villages that had been sold, from the inheritors of her brother, Mirza ‘Ali Khan Amin al-Mamalik (June 14, 1919).
