Does the wife have a share in the house inhabited by the man's children, and what is the method for distributing the inheritance among the heirs, knowing that the deceased has five daughters, four sons, and a wife who is not the mother of the children, and he left two houses?
If the deceased has no heirs other than those mentioned, then his wife receives one-eighth, and the remainder is divided among all his sons and daughters, with the male receiving the share of two females. Marriage does not affect the distribution. All that the deceased left behind in real estate, including the house where the wife resides, if she did not own it during his lifetime, is to be divided among all heirs as stated. The division of inheritances does not rely merely on a ; rather, it must be referred to the courts to verify the existence of other heirs, wills, or debts that take precedence over the rights of the heirs.
