With Mohammad's insistence, the France embassy in Iran was reopened and France–Iran relations resumed, resulting in Iran sending students to France, a tradition that continued throughout modern Iranian history. Family Mohammad Shah, in comparison to other Qajar kings, had a modest harem, either from disliking sex with women or because of his severe illness. By the time he died, he had seven wives, with whom he sired four sons and five daughters. Of his consorts, a woman named Khadija was Mohammad's favourite; she bore him his best-loved son Abbas Mirza III, who was named after Mohammad's father Abbas Mirza and a deceased son of the same name. Mohammad, however, never showed fatherly affection to his son with Malek Jahan Khanom or the future king Naser al-Din. In 1839, Mohammad summoned the Naser al-Din to Tehran and treated him coldly.

Abdol-samad Mirza (May 1843 – 21 October 1929); known as Ezz ed-Dowleh. He had five daughters, four of whom are known: Malek Zadeh Khanum, (1834-35 – 27 June 1905); known as Ezzat ed-Dowleh, married four times, and was the grandmother of Mohammad Ali Shah. Ozra, daughter of Bolour Khanum Zandieh. Effat al-Dowleh, daughter of Bolour Khanum Zandieh. Aziz ol-Dowleh, married Fath-Ali Khan Saheb Divan. Historiography and personality Mohammad Shah's short reign resembles an interregnum between the reigns of Fath-Ali Shah and Naser al-Din Shah.
