the ions of ferrite does not make any bond with the H+ and OH- ions...so they remain insoluble...

Things in solution don't form "bonds" with the solvent, they form complexes only after the solvent breaks the original bonds of the solid. Ferrite insolubility (and other compounds that are insoluble with any given solvent) is due in large part to being more attracted to itself than it is to water; i.e. water cannot break the bonds of the original crystal to allow for dissolution.  The amount of hydronium (H3O+) and hydroxide (-OH) in solution is irrelevant here as the concentration of H2O in water is ~55.6M.
