Regarding Hajiyah Khanum's properties

Copy of the statement by Haji Mirza Ibrahim Shari‘atmadar (local religious notable) on how Haji Aqa ‘Ali Akbar used the property owned by his wife, Hajiyah Khanum (daughter of Aqa Muhammad), became in debt and thus settled his own property to Hajiyah Khanum and her two children while paying a sum to his other two children from his temporary wives. Hajiyah Khanum dealt with Aqa ‘Ali Akbar’s creditors after his death, gave her daughter her share of inheritance and married her off. Mirza Ibrahim writes about his own disagreement with this marriage and the husband’s misbehaviour. Therefore, Hajiyah Khanum’s daughter transferred some of her property, including her mahr, to her mother, and endowed the rest.
