Quran,Translation and Commentary in Brief (Vol. 01)
WHY SHOULD A MAN INHERIT TWICE THAT MUCH OF A WOMAN? Verses 13-14

      Here it has been described how a husband and wife will inherit each other: ``The husband takes one half of his deceased wife's property, provided that she leaves behind no children, and if she has child, he gets only one fourth.''

      The division is performed after the payment of any debt and bequest that might have been bequeathed.

      Then it refers to the widow whose share from the heritage of her deceased husband is one fourth, supposing that he has no children. But if the man has left any children behind, his wife will get one eigth of the inheritance.

      Then the argument advances to the share of brothers and sisters:

      ``If a deceased man or woman, leaves neither children nor parents and have not heirs in the first rank, but they do have a brother or a sister, each of them will inherit one sixth of the heritage. If more than one brother or sister survives, they all take one third of the inheritance and collectively divide it among themselves.''

      The ending of the verse implies that justice and fair dealing should be observed in all the said divisions so that no one's interest is prejudiced. Thus the bequests, the debts, the calculation of shares, and funeral expenses must all be fair, and genuine.
