If the second wife dies before her husband, the inheritance is divided among their children (two sons and two daughters) such that the male receives the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into six shares, with each daughter receiving one share and each son receiving two shares. However, if the husband dies first, his second wife receives one-eighth of the inheritance, and the remainder is divided among the children. Then, after her death, her share goes to her legal heirs.
