Around the year 1605, she became the consort of the young Sultan Ahmed. During her first years in the harem, Fatma Hatun gave birth to her fist child in 1609, Şehzade Cihangir, and in 1612, to Șehzade Hasan. Both sons died in childhood and did not life enough to be executed by their half-brother Murad IV.
