Biography
[edit]Lalla Bahia was a lady from a wealthy Berber family and she had Glaoua (Glawa) origins.[2] Abdelssadeq el-Glaoui explained that just like Lalla Abla bint Tahar,[2] her husband's second wife, Lalla Bahia was chosen from the house Glaoui.[2] However, it is not specified whether it is on her maternal or paternal side that she has Glaoua origins.
Bahia died on 3 September 2008.[3] Her funeral was held at the Moulay El Hassan Mausoleum at the Dar al-Makhzen in Rabat, Morocco.[4][1]
Marriage
[edit]Lalla Bahia married Sultan Sidi Mohammed in the summer of 1953, during a discreet ceremony.[5] The couple had one daughter:
- HRH Princess Lalla Amina (1954–2012), born in Antsirabe.
She became the widow of her husband on February 26, 1961, in line with her uninterrupted life within the royal family.
