Morayma is described as beautiful and religious. Her wedding took place in 1482. Shortly thereafter, she and her husband were imprisoned by her father-in-law. They were liberated by the Kingdom of Castile in 1483, but their children were kept as hostages. Her husband, Muhammad XII (known as Boabdil) had agreed to terms with the Spanish to surrender Granada, and at various times had been allied with the Spanish against his father. She did not see her children until after the fall of Granada in 1492.
