The originally two-class (1st and 2nd class) order for female merit, with annexed three-class (1st, 2nd and 3rd class) medal, was established between 1951 and 1955, by Mohammad Reza Pahlavi (1919-1980, reigned from 1941 until 1979), probably in connection with his 2nd marriage with Soraya Esfandiary-Bakhtiary (1932-2001). In 1967, a 3rd class was added. With the abdication of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi in 1979, the order ceeded to exist as a state order. But it is still conferred as a dynastical order by Shabanu Farah Diba, Dowager Empress (born 1938).
