Baha'u'llah had a total of four wives. His fourth marriage was to a woman named Jamālīyyih.
This marriage took place late in his life. Jamālīyyih was related to one of Baha'u'llah's followers, as she was the niece of his loyal follower Khadimullah.
Persons familiar with Baha'u'llah's affairs confirm that prior to marrying Jamālīyyih, he had married a woman named Gawhar in 1867, who bore him a daughter named Furúghiyyih. His other wives included Navvab, the mother of 'Abbas Efendi, and his cousin Mahd-i 'Ulya, whose eldest son was Mīrzā Muḥammad 'Alī.

It is said that all his wives survived him.

The sad story of the events that followed the death of Baha’u’llah are related thus by Mirza Jawad, who had come with Baha’u’llah from Edirne, and had remained a faithful follower all through the years at Akka: “Alas, alas for what we see today! All these spiritual virtues and humane practices have undergone a complete change. Concord has been replaced by dissension, constancy by cruelty, and affection by enmity. Dissent and mutual avoidance have appeared in this community.....antagonism and separation arose between father and son, brother and sister, husband and wife, and so forth; nay, God be our refuge! even envy and hatred.” The cause of this dissension was, according to Mirza Jawad, “the love of self and seeking after supremacy” of Abbas Efendi.
