Distribution Of Inheritance In Quran: Is It Justice ?
The daughter will get half the share. The remaining can either go to the closest male relatives or become a property of the state if such a law exists. However, the father does have the right to make his daughter his sole heir if he fears that she will be in need of it or if she has been of benefit to him.
One year’s maintenance ?? Is it all ? Here we are talking about the entire inheritance money of the man, and each wife only receiving 6.25 Rs. out of it.. and if the man had a son, the widows would get 1/8th (i.e. 12.5 Rs in total, and 3 Rs individually).. and the rest entirely goes to the son. In which world, is this distribution fair ?
