Right To Property in The Present Day
In the present day, after the death of a man his son or sons get two-thirds share of the father's property. The remaining third is shared equally between the mother and her daughters. If the wife of a deceased lives with one of the sons or daughters that son or daughter is entitled to inherit this property after the death of the mother. If any property is registered with the mother then the daughters are the legal successors to their mother's property.
The father generally divides his property during his lifetime, but it is divided during the latter part of his life. Occasionally, the father is forced to divide the property to avoid a disturbance created by the adult sons. When a father marries a second time, he divides his property earlier on so as to avoid quarrelling among the sons of two wives. A share he will keep for himself to put aside for unmarried daughters and minor sons. The adopted son of a childless person has the right to inherit the property of his foster father.
If a person dies without issue his widow is entitled to inherit her deceased husband's property.

Famous quotes containing the words right to, property, present and/or day:
“What does it matter whether I am shown to be right! I am right too much!—And he who laughs best today will also laugh last.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Thieves respect property. They merely wish the property to become their property that they may more perfectly respect it.”

“At no time in history ... have the people who are not fit for society had such a glorious opportunity to pretend that society is not fit for them. Knowledge of the slums is at present a passport to society—so much the parlor philanthropists have achieved—and all they have to do is to prove that they know their subject. It is an odd qualification to have pitched on; but gentlemen and ladies are always credulous, especially if you tell them that they are not doing their duty.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
“Muriel Bedford: It isn’t every day that your only son gets married.
Judge Bedford: He’s your son, too, Muriel. I mean it’s about time you started taking half the blame.”
