known why she left Turkey, since as a divorced consort she was no longer part of the dynasty and was therefore not forced into exile. Her brother, however, remained with Mehmed, even after her divorce, and followed him into exile. In Cairo she was reportedly miserable, and thought of going to Sanremo, where Vahideddin now lived. Her brother Zeki Bey - aide to the former sultan - refused to let her meet her former husband. After repeated requests from her part, he reportedly told her: “Go back where you came from, what are you doing here? You left this man before, you have no right to ask for his help.” He gave her a pouch of money, set her up in a hotel room and then sent her to Cairo the following day. Mehmed VI never found out that his former wife had been in Sanremo. Back in Cairo, Inşirah became even more unhappy, and attempted suicide, but her niece Zernigül Hanım was able to save her; however, she later tried again, and committed suicide by tossing herself in the Nile on 10 June 1930. Her family brought her body back to Istanbul and buried her in the Emir Sultan cemetery.
