She was the daughter of Mirza Mohammad Taqi Khan-e Farahani and princess Ezzat ed-Dowleh. She was a niece of Naser al-Din Shah Qajar.
Her father had been in conflict with the Queen Mother, Malek [Jahan Khanom], and was therefore exiled when she was very young. He was executed later that same year. Taj ol-Molouk and her sister were brought back to Tehran to be raised by Malek Jahan Khanom while her mother, Ezzat ed-Dowleh, was forced to remarry.
She was the mother of Mohammad [Ali Shah Qajar].
She died on 1 November 1909 in Qasr-e Shirin near Kermanshah whilst on her way to Karbala.
