context_page_description: Mehr-un-nissa Begum, also known as Ladli Begum, was the daughter of Nur Jahan, the last wife of Jahangir.
context_section_description: When Mihr-un-nissa was about sixteen, Jahangir asked her hand in marriage for his son Shahryar. On 22 December 1620, he sent one lakh rupees in cash and goods as a sachaq to Mirza Ghiyas Beg's quarters, which were accompanied by most of the great Amirs. A large celebration of utmost elaboratness was held at Ghiyas Beg's quarters. Jahangir accompanied by the ladies of the imperial harem also went to his quarters.
  The marriage took place on 23 April 1621 and was performed at Ghiyas Beg's house. Here again Jahangir accompanied by the ladies of the imperial harem participated in the celebrations. After eight gharis had elapsed of Thursday night, the wedding took place under favorable auspices.
  Muhammad Sharif Mutamid Khan, who observed the events first hand, believed that Nur Jahan's manoeuvrings were jeopardising the security of the state. On 13 September 1623, Mihr-un-nissa gave birth to the couple's only child, a daughter, named Arzani Begum. 
  Jahangir died on 28 October 1627, and her husband Shahryar ascended the throne at Lahore,  as her mother Nur Jahan had desired. Shah Jahan ascended the throne on 19 January 1628, and on 23 January, he ordered the execution of Shahryar, Prince Daniyal Mirza's sons Tahmuras Mirza and Hoshang Mirza, and Prince Khusrau Mirza's sons Dawar Bakhsh Mirza, and Garshasp Mirza.
