The answer

If a woman dies leaving behind only a husband and two daughters, the husband receives one-fourth as a fixed share due to the presence of a lineal descendant, and the two daughters receive two-thirds as a fixed share. The remainder is returned to the two daughters. In this case, the inheritance is divided into eight shares: the husband receives two shares (one-fourth), and each daughter receives three shares (as a fixed share and a return).
