1553Bhai Jetha, Guru Ram Das, married Bibi Bhani (Please NOTE that the exact date of this event is in doubt) One day, Mata Ram Kaur, wife of Guru Amar Das said to the Guru that Bibi Bhani was now young and should be married as soon as possible. On enquiry from the Guru that what type of boy was in her mind, Mata Ram Kaur pointed to Bhai Jetha, who had just entered the room. Guru Amar Das said that there was no one like Bhai Jetha. This event took place in February of 1553, when Bhai Jetha was about 19 years old. He was dramatically betrothed to Guru Amar Das’s younger daughter Bibi Bhani and was soon married to her. Bhai Jetha was the right choice for Bibi Bhani. Bibi Bhani later became the most respected woman in the Sikh history; she was the daughter of a Guru, wife of a Guru and later mother of a Guru. She played a very important part in shaping the histroy of the Sikhs. Bhai Jetha and Bibi Bhani had three sons, Prithi Chand born in 1558, Mahadev born ion 1560, and Arjan born in 1563.
