12. 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, t hey 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.
