Settlement between Khanum Sultan and Aqa Baygum, 1911

After Nayib Ibrahim, son of Haji Muhammad Baqir from Khuzan, died without leaving a will, there was a dispute between Nayib Ibrahim’s wife Khanum Sultan, daughter of Mirza Muhammad Hasan from Andan, and Nayib Ibrahim’s daughter Aqa Baygum, wife of ‘Abd al-Rahman. Khanum Sultan demanded her share of the inheritance and what was hers according to her marriage contract. This settlement is between Mirza Aqa ‘Ali Akbar, on behalf of Khanum Sultan, and Aqa Mirza ‘Ali Muhammad, on behalf of Aqa Baygum, over Khanum Sultan’s share of the inheritance, her mahr, and the gold mentioned in her marriage contract in exchange for twenty tumans. The agreed-upon amount of money should be used in charitable activities on behalf of the late Nayib Ibrahim.
