Title change

[edit]

The title is problematic. It is named from a Western point of view, who automatically equals the wife of a king with a queen consort. Cultural differences must be respected. In a Muslim culture, the wife of the ruler did not necessarily have a queen title - it was common for a Muslim ruler to have several wives, and a title eqvivalent of a Western queen consort may not always excist. I will be bold and change the title to the more neutral "royal consort", which can include both women who did indeed have the title queen, as well as other consorts of the ruler.--Aciram (talk) 14:40, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
