Biography
Esma Sultan was born on 21 March 1873 at Dolmabahçe Palace in Istanbul to Sultan Abdülaziz's fifth wife Empress Neşerek Kadın (1848–1876) as the second child. She had an older brother, Prince Şehzade Mehmed Şevket (5 June 1872 – 22 October 1899). She was soon followed by another sibling, Emine Sultan (24 August 1874 – 29 January 1920).
Following her father Sultan Abdülaziz's deposition on 30 May 1876 and death a few days later, she was taken into the harem of Sultan Abdülhamid II at the age of three.
She was married on 20 April 1889 at the age of 16 to Damat Çerkes Mehmed Pasha (1856 – 24 May 1909) at Yıldız Palace. Her husband was a general in the Ottoman Army and first aide-de-camp to Abdülhamid II.
