Während eines Ferienaufenthalts im Mount-Everest-Hotel in Darjeeling lernte Dschinnahh 1917 als Einundvierzigjähriger die siebzehnjährige Tochter seines engen, persönlichen hindusitischen Freundes Sir Dinshaw Petit, Rattanbai Petit („Ruttie“) kennen, in die er sich verliebte.
Petit war so wütend über diese sich anbahnende Liebe, dass die Freundschaft darüber zerbrach und er einen Gerichtsbeschluss erwirkte, der es Dschinnah untersagte, Ruttie wiederzusehen.
Doch Ruttie erwiderte Dschinnah Gefühle offenbar und brannte mit ihrem achtzehnten Geburtstag durch, um 1918 den vierundzwanzig Jahre älteren Dschinnah zu heiraten.
