He was born at Istanbul (Constantinople), Topkapı Palace. His father was Abdülmecid I. His mother, whom his father married in Constantinople on 1 August 1839, was Valide Sultan Shevkefza, (Poti, 12 December 1820 - Constantinople, Ortaköy, Çırağan Palace, 17 September 1889), originally named Vilma, a Mingrelian. He was born at Çırağan Palace, Ortaköy, Constantinople.
Reign
Murad became the Sultan when his uncle Abdülaziz was deposed. He was highly influenced by French culture. He reigned for 93 days before being deposed on the grounds that he was supposedly mentally ill, however his opponents may likely have used those grounds to stop his implementation of democratic reforms. As a result, he was unable to deliver the Constitution that his supporters had sought. The ensuing political instability caused by his ousting moved the empire closer to the disastrous war with Russia, then-ruled by Alexander II.
He died at Çırağan Palace, Ortaköy, Constantinople, and was buried in Constantinople on 30 August 1904. His brother, Abdul Hamid II, ascended to the throne on 31 August 1876.

He married firstly at Constantinople, Beşiktaş, Beşiktaş Palace, on 2 January 1857 to Georgian HH Eleru Mevhibe Kadın Efendi (Tbilisi, 6 August 1835 - Chichli, 21 February 1936), and had one child.

He married thirdly at Constantinople, Beşiktaş, Beşiktaş Palace, on 5 February 1869 to Caucasian HH Sahcan Kadın Efendi (Hopa, Caucasus, 4 January 1853 - Ortaköy 15 March 1945), and had two children.
He married fourthly at Constantinople, Ortaköy, Ortaköy Palace, on 8 June 1874 to Georgian HH Meyliservet Haseki Kadın Efendi (Batumi, 21 October 1854 - Constantinople, Ortaköy, Ortaköy Palace, 9 December 1903), and had one child, HIH Princess Fehime Sultan.
