I believe the answer is: Mogul rule relied on female relatives for political advice. Women from aristocratic families frequently received salaries and were allowed to own land. Moguls also placed certain restrictions on women .
Mogul's culture is based on the interpretation of islamic teaching. In their culture, women cannot held the position as the leader of community and subjected to many restriction on things that they can or cannot do. But they can still play a role in the government as an advisor for the male leaders that has some sort of relation with them.
