When his only child Dina decided to marry Neville Wadia, a Parsi who had converted to Christianity, Jinnah tried to dissuade her. He told her there were millions of Muslim boys in India, and she could have anyone she chose. Dina replied: 'Father, there were millions of Muslim girls in India when you married.'
The relationship between the father and daughter was never the same. They did exchange letters, but Jinnah always addressed her as 'Mrs Wadia.'
He only left only Rs 200,000 from his fortune worth crores of rupees to his daughter. The rest went to Fatima, his sister.
By the time Ruttie died in 1929, Jinnah and she had separated. Ruttie had told one of her friends Kanji Dwarkadas that she wanted to have her last rites performed according to Parsi custom, but Jinnah disregarded this and organised a burial.
