Pin Princess → ? – "Pin Princess" isn't normal English word order, and this stub appears to have been put together either with machine translation or efforts of a non-native English speaker. I'm not sure what this bordering-on-obscure figure's most common name in English-language sources might be (I lack a body of source material on this period and region). "Princess of Pin" seems reasonably likely, but it might really be one of her longer names, and "Prince of Pin" appears to be a title (and an earlier one) not a name anyway.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  01:03, 26 July 2024 (UTC); rev'd. 02:57, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

• "Princes Pin"? "Pin Hteik Khaung Tin"? —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 05:56, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

  Move to Pin Hteik Khaung Tin- nothing in sources necessarily talks about her as "Pin Princess", and the Princess of Moe Hlaing was a more important title according to the first source. The Burmese wikipedia also just calls her "Pin Htiek Khaung Tin" with Pin Princess not being mentioned as a phrase. EmeraldRange (talk/contribs) 12:47, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

Alleged virginity

Re "She was one of the three virgin daughters of King Mindon." How does anybody know that? Did he have other daughters who were not virgins? Also, at some point, she clearly stopped being a virgin. Did one or both of the other virgin daughters lose their virginity before she did? What was the exact date when she lost her virginity? Wikipedia wants to know. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 05:49, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

• BarrelProof, good questions. According to this work by Than Swe, she is known as one of the three "virgin" daughters of King Mindon. In fact, their alleged virginity was why the book's author included a chapter about them. In the Princess of Pin's case, she was wedded to her half brother Prince of Mekkhaya in 1863 but her husband refused to consummate the marriage. In fact, he wouldn't even come over to her chamber at any one point. She was greatly embarrassed by this, and repeatedly complained to their father the king. The king finally relented and allowed the divorce to proceed. Apparently she never married again, and died in 1882/83. Hybernator (talk) 22:28, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
