Sources vary. Some state that Namatjira married when he was 18, in 1920, while others state that he was 17. Either way, he did not initially marry his wife Ilkalita, but eloped with her. Only when she was baptised several years later (and given the name Rubina) was their marriage blessed and formally recognised.
