Emibai Jinnah (1878-1893), was a cousin and the first wife of Muhammad Ali Jinnah - founder of Pakistan.
Emibai’s marriage with Mohammad Ali Jinnah took place in 1892. She was 14 and he was 16. Only nikah was solemnized and the rukhsati was to take place later on. Shortly after the marriage, Jinnah left for England. When he returned, his bride had died. Struck by the tragedy, Jinnah didn’t marry for a long time.
Years later in 1918, Mr. Mohammad Ali Jinnah married Ruttenbai Petit, the daughter of a prominent Parsi banker Sir Dinshaw Petit.
