What her father spent on his daughter's marriage is not deducted from her inheritance, because it is an obligatory expense. Nothing is deducted from the son's share on the pretext that his father housed him, but the heirs can demand rent from him after the father's death. Disputed matters between heirs are referred to the court to hear the statements of all parties.
