Marriages and Children
Noor-ud-Din married three times. His first wife died before his becoming the Caliph. The second wife was the daughter of Sufi Ahmad Jan of Ludhiana. Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was instrumental in persuading him to marry her as he did not have any long living sons from his first wife. Sufi Ahmad Jan had cordial relations with Mirza Ghulam Ahmad.

Famous quotes containing the words marriages and/or children:
“Those Marriages generally abound most with Love and Constancy, that are preceded by a long Courtship.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
“A society in which adults are estranged from the world of children, and often from their own childhood, tends to hear children’s speech only as a foreign language, or as a lie.... Children have been treated ... as congenital fibbers, fakers and fantasisers.”
—Beatrix Campbell (b. 1947)
