Azam was first married on 13 May 1668 to an [[Ahom people|Ahom]] princess, [[Ramani Gabharu]], whose name was changed to Rahmat Bano Begum.  She was the daughter of the [[Ahom kingdom|Ahom king]], Swargadeo Jayadhwaj Singh, and the marriage was a political one.{{citation needed|date=July 2023}}

On 3 January 1669, Azam married his cousin, Princess [[Jahanzeb Banu Begum]], the daughter of his eldest uncle Crown Prince [[Dara Shikoh]] and his beloved wife Nadira Bano Begum.{{citation needed|date=July 2023}}

Jahanzeb was his chief wife and his favorite wife, whom he loved dearly. She gave birth to her eldest son on 4 August 1670. His grandfather Aurangzeb named him 'Bidar Bakht'. Aurangzeb, throughout his life, always loved the three of Azam and Jahanzeb (who was his favorite daughter-in-law) and Prince Bidar Bakht, a brave and successful general. Bidar Bakht was also Aurangzeb's favorite grandson.{{citation needed|date=July 2023}}

Azam's third marriage was fixed with Iran Dukht Rahmat Bano (Pari Bibi), daughter of Aurangzeb's maternal uncle [[Shaista Khan]]. However, the marriage could not take place due to the sudden death of Pari Bibi in [[Dhaka]] in 1684. In her memory, a [[mazar (mausoleum)]] was constructed in [[Lalbagh Fort|Fort Aurangabad]] (now Lalbagh Fort) in Dhaka.

As part of a political alliance, Azam later married his third (and last) wife, Shahar Bano Begum (Padshah Bibi), in 1681. She was a princess of the [[Adil Shahi dynasty]] and the daughter of the ruler [[Ali Adil Shah II]]. Despite Bijapur and his other marriages, Azam's love for Jahanzeb remained unchanged. Because when she died in 1705, he was filled with great sadness and despair, which darkened the rest of his life.
