Most of the consorts of the Ottoman sultans were slave concubines rather than legal wives. The phrase "consort" includes all consorts, both legal wives and concubines. Concubines was by Islamic law by definition slaves, with different rights from wives. The consorts can be placed in the subcategories wives or concubines.
