On 9 July 1675, the wedding and on the following day her sister Fatma Sultan was married to Kara Mustafa Pasha took place and on the same day her brothers Mustafa and Ahmed were circumcised.[4][5] A complete 20-day wedding celebration took place in Edirne on the account of her wedding.[5][2] The dowry that Mehmed gave to her Hatice Sultan gave for her wedding was amazed by the travellers in Edirne at the time. The dowry of Hatice Sultan was carried by eighty-six mules, and the mules were covered with robe fabrics.[6] There were also many carpets, rugs, beds and table cloths. Apart from decorated porcelain candle holders and gold candlesticks, pearl boots, shoes, slippers and horseshoes, bracelets decorated with precious stones, choker necklaces, earrings, small size binoculars decorated with jewels, stools covered with pearls and jewellery were the most eye-catching dowry. In addition to these, seven chests of sugar chests, eight sugar proxies and two garden models made of sugar were placed in the procession.[6] The wedding held in Edirne, theater-like entertainment was organized and banquets were held.[7] It is not known that how many children Hatice had, there is only mention of one son Sultanzade Abdullah.[8][9]

After the death of Musahip Mustafa Pasha in 1686, she was widowed by his death.

Unfortunately, the next year Mehmed was deposed from the throne and the marriage could not take place.[5][8] In 1691, her uncle Suleiman II wedded her to his close-friend Moralı Hasan Pasha. The wedding took place on 13 March 1691. They were given the Sinan Pasha Palace as their residence.[5][8]

It has been suggested that the totals for this twenty-five year period and the decade following it were swollen by the incorporation of two massive collections. Her probate inventory turned out to comprise no fewer than sixty-two celadons, 2,303 Chinese porcelains, and twelve European porcelains, adding up to a total of 2,377 pieces.[12]
