Inheritance On The Basis Of Benefit
Miss Rukhsana. You stated, “if daughter’s benefit is transferred to that of her husband’s household (which , btw is way more than a mere companionship: she gives birth to her husband’s children, raises his children, looks after his house and manages multiple other affairs and in many instances looks after his parents too) then why is her share so insignificant in her husband’s inheritance and non existent in his parents inheritance.” 1. You are assuming that woman’s parents did not fulfill their obligation and did not write a will and also the husband of the woman did not either. Both did not follow their responsibility. 2. A woman doesn’t only give birth to husband’s children but give birth to her own children too and takes care of mutual home and children. 3. The owner of the assets, the father and the husband of the woman were the best suited to divide their assets according to their wishes. Whether based on benefits or the need. If both did not do so, the questions arise… a. Who will decide now how to distribute. b. What would be the criteria of fairness? c. Can there be a universal rule of fair distribution? d. Will all recipients agree to the distribution without having grudge against each other? e. If the translations and comprehension of the law of inheritance in Quran is correct without any vagueness, does the suggestion of the creator of this universe carry any value?
