According to Saednews, In 1938, the wedding ceremony of Egypt's 17-year-old King Farouk and 16-year-old Safinaz Zulficar—who adopted the name Queen Farida after their marriage—was held in Cairo. The royal couple had three daughters together. However, because they did not have a male heir, their marriage ended in divorce in 1948.
