Personal life and death

Jahanbani was married to Shahnaz Pahlavi, the eldest daughter of Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi.[4] They married at the Iranian Embassy in Paris in February 1971.[2] In a publication of the Islamic Republic of Iran it is argued that the marriage was not supported by Shahnaz Pahlavi's father, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.[5]
