Wife

His wife Shamsa bint Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Nahyan for sure NOT the daughter of Mohammed bin Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, son of Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan the current president. His grand-niece seems not old enough. Instead, it may be the grand daughter of Khalifa bin Shakhbut Al Nahayan, his first cousin twice removed. (although no record than Khalifa I have the third son other than Zayed I and Dhiyab)

Or the grand-daughter of Khalifa bin Zayed bin Khalifa Al Nahyan, great-grand daughter of Zayed bin Khalifa Al Nahyan, his second cousin.

More interestingly his wife may related to Hassa bint Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Nahyan, his father first wife, while Sultan is from the second wife. Matthew_hk t c 18:15, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Shamsa is his mother. 62.64.152.154 (talk) 00:23, 2 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"3/4 sibling"

What is a "3/4 sibling"? --YOMAL SIDOROFF-BIARMSKII (talk) 19:36, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@YOMAL SIDOROFF-BIARMSKII: I have fixed the link. As per the link a 3/4 sibling is "siblings have one common parent, while their unshared parents have a mean consanguinity of 50%. This means the unshared parents are either siblings or parent and child (similar terminology is used in horse breeding, where it occurs more frequently). Three-quarter siblings share more genes than half siblings, but fewer than full siblings." They are specifically claimed to be of the horizontal variety, where "the unshared parents are full siblings". However I'm not sure if this is actually correct, and it appears as if his spouse may have been incorrectly entered as his mother. This source supports the view.[1]

(As stated in the wife section the link would suggest he married his grand niece which is forbidden in Islam and extremely unlikely with the age.) Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 20:29, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That's incorrect! I just have corrected the name of the late Shiekh Sultan's mother. Sheikha Shamsa bin Mohammed was actually his wife not his mother. Notice that it was impossible for Sheikha Shamsa to be a spouse of his father Sheikh Zayed. why? Because Sheikh Zayed was still married to her sister Sheikha Hassa (mother of sheikh Khalifa) until his death and in Islam it's forbidden to marry a woman and her sister at the same time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.59.223.244 (talk) 14:05, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
