Princess Esma Sultan selected Servetseza as a consort for her nephew, the new Sultan, Abdülmecid.[3] Servetseza married him in 1839 and became the Empress consort. She was granted the rank of Chief consort under the title "Baş Servetseza Kadın"[4][1] (باش ثروت سزا قادین; "Servetseza" meaning "Worthy of riches"[5]). Her marriage to Abdülmecid strengthened the relations between the two dynasties.[1] He also made her sister, Fatma Şemsfer Hanım, hazinedar of the Imperial Harem.[6] The Harem had felt the utmost of jealousy towards Servetseza and had written ditties against her, pointing to her shrewish nature.[7] She was an intelligent and a well cultured lady,[8] and was described an interesting and accomplished woman, but not extraordinary for extra charms.[3] The future Empress Dürrünev Kadın, consort of Prince Şehzade Abdülaziz (the future Sultan Abdülaziz), was a Lady-in-waiting to her.[9]
