The answer

If a person dies leaving a half-brother (from the father's side), a wife, full sisters, and half-sisters (from the father's side), and no other heirs, then the wife inherits one-fourth, and the full sisters inherit two-thirds. The remainder is divided among the half-brother and the half-sisters (from the father's side), with the male receiving the share of two females. The inheritance is divided into 180 shares: 45 shares for the wife, 120 shares for the full sisters (40 shares for each), 6 shares for the half-brother (from the father's side), and 3 shares for each half-sister (from the father's side). It is important to note that inheritance matters are serious and require referral to courts to verify the existence of other heirs, wills, or debts that take precedence over the heirs' rights.
