Emibai Jinnah (1878 – 1893)[1] was the first wife of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founding father of Pakistan, from 1892 until her death in 1893.[2][3][4][5]
Early life and background
Emibai was born in 1878 in Paneli, Bombay Presidency. She was a Gujarati Khoja of Nizari Isma'ili Shi’a Muslim background.
Marriage and death
Emibai Jinnah was born in 1878 in Paneli Moti, a village in Rajkot district of Gujarat, during the time of British India.[5]
When she was 14 years of age, Muhammad Ali Jinnah's mother Mithibai Jinnah was urging him to marry his cousin Emibai.[6] Jinnah complied with his mother's wishes and married Emibai at Paneli Village.[7][8] Shortly after the wedding, Jinnah left for England to engage in higher academic studies.[4][5] During his stay in England both Emibai and his mother died.[9]
Affected by this tragedy, it was 25 years before Jinnah chose to marry again.[2] Aged about 40, he took Rattanbai Petit (1900–1929) as his second wife on April 19, 1918. Rattanbai died on February 20, 1929.[5]
Unlike Rattanbai, a well known figure in her own right, little is known about Emibai.[10][11]
