| ==Relationship with the Nizams==
| |
| The bond between the [[Nizam]]s and the Paigah nobility strengthened with the marriage of Abul Fatah Khan’s son Fakhruddin Khan with the daughter of [[Mir Nizam Ali Khan, Asaf Jah II]], Sahebzadi Bashirunissa Begum in 1797. Henceforth, Fakhruddin Khan’s descendants married daughters of other [[Nizam]]s and consequently, in protocol, the Paigah's were considered next only to the Nizams. The ''Paigah jagir'' was the largest in the state, second only to the Nizam.
| |
|
| |
| The Paigah nobility, being sons-in-law and brothers-in-law to the Nizams, were to a certain extent ''above the law''. The local police and courts did not have personal or in rem jurisdiction over their persons or property. They were subject only to the jurisdiction of the Nizam.
