Settlement of Khadijah Khanum and her daughter Khanum Sultan, 1910

Khadijah Khanum, the daughter of Haj Sayyid ‘Ali Aqa Khuyi, settles two-thirds of her belongings, including her mahr, money, objects, and land, to her daughter, Khanum Sultan, in exchange for some crystal candy from Iraq and two qirans. For ten years, Khadijah Khanum has the right to revoke this settlement; the lapsing of the revocation will take place by Khadijah Khanum’s recitation of the Fatihat al-Kitab chapter (once) and the Tawhid chapter (thrice). Muhammad Ja‘far Amin al-Tijarah from Ardabil has confirmed this settlement.
