Your share in the property the wives leave behind is half if they die without an issue , but in case they have left children , then your share is one-fourth after the payment of legacies and debts ; and your wife shall inherit one-fourth of what you leave at death if you die childless , if not , she will get one-eighth of what you leave behind after payment of legacies and debts . If a man or a woman should die without leaving either children or parents behind but have brother and sister , they shall each inherit one-sixth .
