Marriage
Dürriye married Sultanzade Mehmed Cahid Osman Bey, son of Naime Sultan, a daughter of Sultan Abdul Hamid II, and Mehmed Kemaleddin Pasha. The marriage took place on 26 March 1920 at the Yıldız Palace, and was performed by Şeyhülislam Haydarîzâde İbrahim Efendi. Her dowry was 1001 purses of gold. After the marriage she moved to Naime Sultan's Palace located on the seashore.
Curiously, a marriage between her father and Mehmed Cahid's mother had been considered in the past.
In the prenuptial agreement she was given the right to divorce her husband. The two divorced on 6 November 1921 with Şeyhülislam Nuri Efendi's assistance. After the two divorced, her husband married her maternal aunt Laverans Hanım, with whom he had one son, Bülent Osman Bey.{{cite book|first=Betül Kübra|last=Bağce|title=II.
