    In what your wives leave, Your share is a half, If they leave no child; But if they leave a child, Ye get a fourth; after payment Of legacies and debts. In what ye leave, Their share is a fourth, If ye leave no child; But if ye leave a child, They get an eighth; after payment Of legacies and debts. If the man or woman Whose inheritance is in question, Has left neither ascendants nor descendants, But has left a brother Or a sister, each one of the two Gets a sixth; but if more Than two, they share in a third; After payment of legacies And debts; so that no loss Is caused (to any one). Thus is it ordained by God; And God is All-knowing, Most Forbearing.
