How is the inheritance divided among: four daughters, four full sisters, one full brother, and a wife?
If the deceased's heirs are limited to those mentioned, then the daughters receive two-thirds (as a prescribed share) due to their plurality, and the wife receives one-eighth (as a prescribed share) due to the presence of a lineal descendant. The remainder goes to the brother and sisters (by virtue of agnatic succession), with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into 144 shares as follows: the daughters receive 96 shares (24 for each daughter), the wife receives 18 shares, the full brother receives 10 shares, and each full sister receives 5 shares. Inheritance matters should be referred to courts to verify all heirs, debts, and bequests before distribution.
