Begum Sahiba Hatice Hayriye Ayşe Dürrüşehvar Sultan was the daughter of Abdulmejid II, the last heir apparent to the Ottoman Imperial throne and the last Caliph of the Ottoman Caliphate. She was married in Nice, France on November 12, 1832 to Prince Azam Jah (1907–1970), the eldest son and heir of the last Nizam of Hyderabad State, Osman Ali Khan, Asif Jah VII.

She refused to be buried in Turkey because the Turkish Government refused her father's burial in Istanbul. She was buried beside her mother in Brookwood Cemetery.
