In 1244 AH. / 1829 AD., she married Khosrow Khan Ardalan (1240-1250 AH. /1825-1835 AD.), the governor of Kurdistan. The death of Khosrow Khan and the occurrence of political crisis in Kurdistan encouraged Mastura to write the History of Ardalan and criticize the perpetrators of the political crisis, namely Walia Khanoum and her children.
