Kaya Sultan
Kaya Sultan (1633〔Evliya Celebi. The Intimate Life of an Ottoman Statesman Albany: State University of New York, 1991. P.236.〕–1659〔Evliya Celebi. The Intimate Life of an Ottoman Statesman Albany: State University of New York, 1991. P.236.〕) was an Ottoman princess. She was the daughter of Ottoman sultan Murad IV. She married the statesman Melek Ahmed Pasha in 1644 and died shortly after giving birth, at the age of 26, due to complications during her labour.〔Evliya Celebi. ''The Intimate Life of an Ottoman Statesman'' Albany: State University of New York, 1991. P.231.〕 The famed Ottoman traveler Evliya Çelebi noted a specific encounter with Kaya Sultan in his ''Book of Travels''. An entire chapter of the book is dedicated to Kaya Sultan, from her pregnancy to her death.
== Early life ==
Kaya was born to Sultan Murad IV, known as an autocratic and cruel ruler. The marriage of princesses for political ends has always been used by the sultans, and Kaya was no exception. At the age of 13, Kaya was married to Melek Ahmed Pasha, a future Ottoman Grand Vizier of Abkhazian origin, who was in his mid 50s. The year of their marriage is given as 1644.〔Evliya Celebi. The Intimate Life of an Ottoman Statesman Albany: State University of New York, 1991. P.236.〕 However, Kaya was extremely hostile towards her husband, as evident on her wedding night when she struck him with a dagger.〔Leslie Peirce. "The Imperial Harem: Women and the Sovereignty in the Ottoman Empire" New York: Oxford University Press, 1993. p. 146. .〕
