In the traditional thinking of the mainland, passing on the generations has always been the top priority of life.
The so-called "no filial piety has three, no queen is greater", can not give birth to children, and even for some elderly people, if they are not born with sons, it is very difficult to accept
。
However, with the development of the times and society, this idea of favoring sons over daughters has gradually been criticized by mainstream public opinion, and a sarcastic sentence has been derived:
Does the family have a throne to inherit?
Of course, we ordinary people certainly don't have it, but if it's a real princess or prince, it's different.
An heir is indeed very important to them, and if you don't believe it, if you can't give birth to male offspring, even the princess will be rejected.
1. The queen who filed for divorce in her mother's house
November 17, 1948,
Iranian officials, under pressure from the Egyptian royal family, issued a proclamation announcing the breakdown of the marriage between the contemporary King Mohammed Reza Pahlavi and Queen Fassya Foad and the official divorce
，
It has been 3 years since Fasya Fouad unilaterally announced his divorce.
Fassya Foad was no ordinary woman, in addition to the status of Queen of Iran, she was also a young princess of the Muhammad Ali dynasty of Egypt, and was favored by the king.
Fassya's marriage was a product of politics, and in 1939, at the age of 18, as an Egyptian princess, she married Pahlavi, the eldest son of the then King of Iran, and seemed to have embarked on a happy life of prince and princess.
In 1940, Fassya gave birth to a daughter for Pahlavi, and the two families were more complete.
In 1942, when Pahlavi ascended the throne and Fassya became queen, everything seemed to be very good
However, what no one expected was that in 1945, Fasya, who returned to Egypt on the pretext of recuperation, directly filed for divorce from the Iranian royal family and never went to Iran again.
This fairytale marriage lasted only 6 years,
that
What is the reason why Princess Fassya is so determined to file for divorce?
Let's start at the beginning.
Second, the most beautiful princess of Egypt married into Iran
Raised in the favor of the egyptian kings, Fassya cultivated her noble and mysterious temperament from a carefree aristocratic life.
Coupled with the inheritance of the royal genes that have been improved over generations, her white skin and beauty, especially the deep and charming eyes, have made her repeatedly appear on the cover of various international magazines and is recognized as the most beautiful princess in Egypt.
Even known as Britain's greatest photographer of the twentieth century,
Cecil Beaton, the former royal photographer of Monroe and Hepburn, both called fascia "the Venus of Asia" in amazement after taking pictures of Fassia.
It was for this reason that this amazing beauty, although Pahlavi did not know Farsya, was still fascinated by the princess from the first sight of her.
In fact, Pahlavi was not a clumsy disciple, as the successor of the kingdom, he had always been trained to be very good, not only handsome in appearance, but also proficient in Chinese, so Fassya was also very accepting of Pahlavi.
In this way, under the arrangement of the royal families of both sides,
this
The two princesses and princes, who met for the first time, successfully entered the palace of marriage, which was rumored to be a good story at that time
3. The queen who is rejected because she cannot give birth to a son
In fact, at the beginning of marriage, the relationship between the husband and wife was still relatively harmonious. Although it was a political marriage, and the two had not even met before the engagement, the couple was able to harmonize
Get along
But the problem is the birth of a daughter, especially after her husband Pahlavi ascended the throne.
Since Fassya's first child was a girl, the Iranian royal family was very disappointed
What they were expecting was a little prince, especially Fasya's mother-in-law, whose dissatisfaction was palpable.
Especially as time went on, after Fasya never became pregnant, the royal family's attitude towards her became increasingly indifferent.
In fact, the Egyptian princess also took the initiative to try to integrate into the Iranian royal family, and she also learned Persian for this purpose, but this did not work.
Later, the royal family members' difficulties against Fassia became more and more intense,
In addition to the daily bad words, the sister-in-law also smashed her with a vase in the quarrel, and all this, as a husband, Pahlavi turned a blind eye
This is not only because of the busy state affairs that lead to the two getting together less and more, but also because Pahlavi has gradually exposed his own side of the flow.
He had many lovers outside, and he did not even deliberately hide it from Fassya, and in his understanding, it seemed that his wife, who could not give birth to a son, should live with patience.
However, Fassya, who came from the Egyptian royal family, was not an ordinary woman who was rebellious, although she had tried to cater to her husband's family before, but after recognizing the current situation,
Fassya was completely disappointed in the marriage, and she began to separate from Pahlavi, then returned to her Egyptian mother's house under the pretext of recuperation, and soon filed for divorce
Fourth, marry love, children and daughters are complete
Although it was not until 1948 that the Iranian royal family officially accepted the fact that the two divorced, under the protection of her mother's family, Fasya had long since walked out of the trauma of marriage.
And at home, she slowly came together with a fine man— her cousin, Ismail, a colonel in the Egyptian Army.
Although an army colonel officer is certainly far inferior to the head of a country in terms of identity, Fasya has long been clear that for women, especially
For her from the royal family, her husband's material conditions are no longer so important, and the love between the two is the key
What's more, Ismail is also a high-achieving graduate of Cambridge University, which is highly valued in Egypt and can be regarded as a rising star.
In 1949, Fassya and Ismail were officially married.
Perhaps because of the magic of love, after marriage, the princess gave birth to a son and a daughter for Ismail, and her life was very happy
Later, due to the development of the democratic movement, the Muhammad Ali dynasty of Egypt was shocked, ending its rule, and Fassya lost her previous royal treatment as the last princess.
But she did not suffer much from the happy life, but lived a long and healthy life until 2013, at the age of 93.
On the other hand, the ex-husband Pahlavi, the later queen did give birth to 2 sons for him as he wished,
But in Iran, which also abolished the monarchy because of the development of the times, he no longer had the throne to inherit from his son
This has to be said to be a huge irony.
As ordinary people, we can actually see it in these two marriages
A lot
。 What should be at the top of the list in a marriage relationship? Materiality, loyalty, companionship or pure love?
It is clear that at least matter is not as important as a few others, just as Fasya lived just as well after losing the material conditions of the royal family. And a marriage without love can actually stand any big winds and waves.
I hope that everyone can harvest the marriage caused by love and live happily in the journey of life!
