Chapter 14 mentions that the Parsi merchant Ratanji had a "large family of daughters—twelve, one after another," which was the source of his unhappiness as he longed for a son. However, the text provides no further details about the daughters themselves. It does not list any of their names, nor does it describe their personal feelings, perspectives, or roles within the family. The narrative focuses exclusively on Ratanji's internal struggle and his perspective that his wealth and happiness were fruitless without a male heir to continue his lineage.
What does Chapter 14 say about Ratanji's twelve daughters? Does it give any of their names or describe their feelings about their father's desire for a son?
