Marriage Life
Kaya proved to be important to her husband's political career. She often assisted him with strategical and financial aid. Evliya Celebi regarded Kaya Sultan as a prime example of the dynasty's beneficence. He also noted that within all the Sultana's and their husbands, none got on as well as Kaya and Melek. This was proven after the death of Kaya as Melek threw himself on Kaya's coffin and wept uncontrollably.

Famous quotes containing the words marriage and/or life:
“If a marriage is going to work well, it must be on a solid footing, namely money, and of that commodity it is the girl with the smallest dowry who, to my knowledge, consumes the most, to infuriate her husband. All the same, it is only fair that the marriage should pay for past pleasures, since it will scarcely procure any in the future.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“Young men of the fairest promise, who begin life upon our shores, inflated by the mountain winds, shined upon by all the stars of God, find the earth below not in unison with these,—but are hindered from action by the disgust which the principles on which business is managed inspire, and turn drudges, or die of disgust,—some of them suicides.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
