142: When Shah Jahan Met Mumtaz Mahal

142: When Shah Jahan Met Mumtaz Mahal

We’re exploring the famous love story behind one of the seven modern wonders of the world -- The Taj Mahal. The relationship between Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal went beyond the typical polygamous marriage of royal courts at the time, and became a romance remembered for its fidelity, fertility (!), and tragedy.

From their first meeting at a royal bazaar in the Mughal Empire, to their devout marriage on the campaign trail, to its heartbreaking end that inspired one of the world’s most iconic monuments.

Join and listen as we discuss love, death, and polygamous marriages. And ask each other (and you) if polygamous marriages work? And if you would consider entering one?
