Biography

Adila Mutallibova was born in Baku in 1938.{{cite news|title=Mütəllibovun xanımı əməliyyat olundu - keçmiş prezidentdən AÇIQLAMA |url=https://news.lent.az/news/272914 |work=Lent.az |date=2017-04-24 |access-date=2019-07-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180711234243/https://news.lent.az/news/272914 |archive-date=2018-07-11 |url-status=live}} She married Ayaz Mutallibov in 1961. The couple had two sons: Azad (1962–August 2011) and Zaur (b. 1970).

President Ayaz Mutallibov was forced to resign during the spring of 1992 as the First Nagorno-Karabakh War turned in Armenia's favor. Adila Mutallibova and her husband fled Azerbaijan and lived in exile in Moscow, Russia, from 1992 until 2011. They were allowed to return to Azerbaijan in August 2011 to attend the funeral of their son, Azad, who died from cancer.{{cite news|title=Ex-Azeri Leader Allowed to Return for Funeral |url=https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2011/08/09/ex-azeri-leader-allowed-to-return-for-funeral-a8786 |work=Moscow Times |date=2011-08-09 |access-date=2019-07-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190709022147/https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2011/08/09/ex-azeri-leader-allowed-to-return-for-funeral-a8786 |archive-date=2019-07-09 |url-status=live}} Adila and Ayaz Mutallibov permanently returned from exile in July 2012 and lived in Baku.{{cite news|title=Ədilə Mütəllibova vəfat edib |url=https://novator.az/2019/07/05/%C9%99dil%C9%99-mut%C9%99llibova-v%C9%99fat-edib/ |work=Novator.az |date=2019-07-05 |access-date=2019-07-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190716122428/https://novator.az/2019/07/05/%C9%99dil%C9%99-mut%C9%99llibova-v%C9%99fat-edib/ |archive-date=2019-07-16 |url-status=live}}
