In 1954, she married Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Al-Mustain Billah ibni Almarhum Sultan Sir Abu Bakar Riayatuddin Al-Muadzam Shah and twenty years later became his Queen or Tengku Ampuan. She became Raja Permaisuri Agong of Malaysia between 1979 and 1984.
She died of cancer in 1988, a week after her mother-in-law the dowager Tengku Ampuan Besar Raja Fatimah and a week before her own mother passed away.
