  • Why Is A Childless Widow’S Inheritance Lesser Than Siblings

    Why does she only get 25% but the rest of 75% is divided among the siblings of the deceased. Isn’t she more deserving since she lost her main economic support?

    If she is mir deserving the husband is allowed to make a will in her favour. He can bequeathed all his property to her. If he doesn’t make will then it is the divine law which she would get one fourth of the estate. The rest will be divided among the siblings.

    The principle of the shares is who is more beneficial to the person. Wife is not supposed to support her husband financially rather he spends on her as his responsibility. It is the brothers, who are supposed to support a man if he is in need. Therefore they get the rest of the share. If the siblings are only sisters they get a portion of the estate.
