The man's estate is divided as follows: the two wives receive one-eighth, amounting to 3000 pounds, with 1500 pounds for each. The remainder goes to the children, with the male receiving the equivalent of the share of two females. Thus, the son's share is 14,0 pounds and the daughter's share is 7,0 pounds. It is advisable to refer inheritance matters to the Sharia courts for investigation before division, as there may be wills, debts, or other rights of which the heirs may not be aware.
