If a man dies and leaves behind a wife, four daughters, and a father, and no other heirs, then the wife gets one-eighth (6 shares), the four daughters get two-thirds (32 shares), and the father gets one-sixth as a fixed share and the remainder by residuary right (10 shares). The inheritance is divided into 48 shares. The brothers and sisters are excluded from inheritance by the father. It is recommended to refer the matter to the court to consider all aspects of the issue.
