Beforehand however, in AD, Khurram had been betrothed to Arjumand Bano Begum, the grand daughter of a Persian noble, who was just 14 years old at the time.

According to the official court chronicler Qazwini, the relationship with his other wives "had nothing more than the status of marriage. More seriously, his reign is considered that of the climax of the Mughals. It had the characteristic of being that of the maximum extension of the Empire thanks to the levies of soldiers and the multiplication of the external conflicts.
Towards the end of his reign he had to fight more internal enemies like the Islamic rebellion of Ahmednagar, or pushing the Portuguese back to Bengal, recovering the Rajput kingdoms of Baglana and Bundelkhand to the west and north-west beyond Khyber. His reign was thus more a period during which the military resources were increased tenfold, relying on the nobles and their capacity to raise quotas. Despite these episodes, the reign of Shah Jahan was generally a peaceful period during which the Empire was stable, politically.
The administration has been centralized and the judiciary has increased. Historiography and the arts were instruments of propaganda, allowing the emergence of fine works of art or poetry that magnified the specific public ideology of the Mughals. It was this centralization that allowed the power to achieve harmony in the Mogul society of the eighteenth century.
Shah Jahan erected many splendid monuments, the most famous of which is the Taj Mahal in Agra. The Pearl Mosque in Agra, the palace and the grand mosque in Delhi or the Throne of the Peacock, which is said to be worth millions of dollars, according to modern estimates, are all constructions of Shah Jahan. He was the founder of Shahjahanabad, now known as "Old Delhi". There were also other buildings, initiated by this creative emperor: the Diwan-i-Am and Diwan-i-Khas, in the Red Fort of Delhi, for example.
Besides, the court of the Emperor was, it seems, of a high quality and very impressive, for the European visitors of the time. The throne of the Peacock, with its flamboyant procession of natural colors giving the illusion of movement, was in rubies, sapphires and emeralds.
Many nobles possessed great wealth, too. When he died in , his son Aurangazeb had already taken power for 8 years. Of course, a great number of children were born of these unions, many of whom, unfortunately, died young.
