One of the most important events of Jahangir’s reign was his marriage with Nur Jahan. Mirza Ghiyas Beg, the father of Nur Jahan, belonged to a noble family of Tehran, and his father had served as governor of Yazd under Shah Tahmashp of Persia. After the death of his father, Mirza Ghiyas Beg fell on evil days and therefore, left for India in search of employments
On his way to India, in 1577 A.D. his wife gave birth to a daughter named Mihr-un-nisa who afterwards became the empress of India and was called Nur Jahan. Mirza Ghiyas Beg was under most distressing circumstances at that time. Fortunately, he received kindly help from Malik Masud, the leader of the caravan with which he was travelling to India.
Malik Masud presented him before Akbar who took him under his service. Ghiyas Beg was a talented person and soon rose to eminence. He was appointed Diwan at Kabul and, later on, became Diwan of the emperor’s household. Jahangir, in the very beginning of his reign, awarded him the title of Itimad-ud-daula. In 1594 A.D., Mihr-un-nisa was married to Ali Quli Beg.
In 1599 A.D. Ali Quli Beg was given the title of Sher Afghan by prince Salim when he killed a tiger single-handed. When prince Salim revolted against his father, Sher Afghan left him and joined the Imperialists.
After the death of Akbar, prince Salim became the Emperor and assumed the title of Jahangir. He forgave Sher Afghan and appointed him Jagirdar of Burdwan in Bengal. Sher Afghan felt dissatisfied with his new assignment and did not act enthusiastically to suppress the revolt of the Afghans there.
In 1606 A.D., Qutb-ud-din was appointed governor of Bengal in place of Raja Man Singh. The same year, Sher Afghan was charged of disloyalty to the Emperor and was asked to present himself before the new governor. Qutb- ud-din treated him disrespectfully which infuriated Sher Afghan. He attacked Qutb-ud-din with his sword and killed him while he himself was cut to pieces by the followers of Qutb-ud-din.
Mihr-un-nisa and Ladli Begum, wife and daughter of Sher Afghan respectively were sent as prisoners to Agra. Mihr- un-nisa was appointed in the service of Salima Begum, widow of Akbar. Jahangir chanced to see her in one of the Nauroz-festivals in March 1611 A.D. He fell in love with her and married her the same year. She was given the title of Nur Mahal and Nur Jahan respectively by Jahangir afterwards.

Answer:
Mehrunnisa married the Emperor Jahangir in 1611 and received the title Nur Jahan. She remained extremely loyal and supportive to the monarch. As a mark of honour, Jahangir struck silver coins bearing his own titles on one side and on the other the inscription “struck in the name of the Queen Begum, Nur Jahan”.
The adjoining document is an order (farman) of Nur Jahan. The square seal states, “Command of her most Sublime and Elevated Majesty Nur Jahan Padshah Begum”. The round seal states, “by the sun of Shah
Jahangir she became as brilliant as the moon; may Nur Jahan Padshah be the lady of the age”.
