Princess Faiza did not want to marry a member of the Middle East royal family. Instead, she married to her Turkish cousin Mohammad Ali Bulent Rauf, who was thirty-four years old, in Cairo on 17 May 1945. Their marriage was arranged through familial relations. Her brother King Farouk did not support their marriage, but reluctantly endorsed it. Princess Faiza and her husband lived in the Zohria Palace on Gezira Island in the Nile after their marriage. Princess Faiza was one of the leading figures of the Red Crescent Society in Egypt during the reign of King Farouk. King Farouk put her and her husband under house arrest due to his suspicion. She and her husband launched a homemade film about a military coup six weeks before the events of 1952. After the abdication of King Farouk as a result of the 1952 revolution in Egypt, Princess Faiza moved to Istanbul in 1954. Then, she and her husband went to Spain and France. Next, she went to the US and settled in Beverly Hills, leaving her husband in Paris. They had no issue, and divorced in 1962. She lived in Paris until her death.
